The Account Determination Group ABC has been maintained for Inventory, Gains and Loses and Physical Inventory for Set of Books NNN.

This Account Determination Group ABC has not been maintained for Differences.

The cause is a price valuation difference between Purchase order and inventory cost maintained in material.

As the Perpetual Cost method is Moving Average the difference in inventory value must be posted back to the Material.
For the posting, the General Ledger (GL) account being determined is based on the accounts maintained on the inventory subledger.

You need to maintain the GL accounts for the account determination group ABC in the Differences tab of the Subledger Inventories in the Business Configuration Activity Charts of Accounts, Financial Reporting Structures, Account Determination to solve this issue.
