In case sales revenues are deferred the Invoiced Net Value and Sales Revenue do not have to match. The delta also depends on the applied accrual methods and the execution of the Revenue Recognition for the respective time frame. It is possible that the Revenue Recognition Run does not realize sales revenues for various reasons.

In case you assume that sales documents should have been included in a Revenue Recognition Run you can confirm this by following the steps.

1. Go to Cost and Revenue work center and the Periodic Tasks view.
2. Select the Revenue Recognition sub-view.
3. Search for the Run ID related to the period where values are not matching in the reports.
4. Click on View button.
5. Navigate to the Messages tab.

Here you might find an indication why certain documents have not been included.
