You're going to have to contact SAP support to get this corrected. See SAP notes 32236 and 34440.

[FI-CO]

We had the same situation but were able to correct it manually,
it depends on the origin of the imbalance & if it is a one-off or reoccurring.
Ours was a once off & we were able to trace the entries.
Download the Stock GL account detail with additional account
assignments for material & plant in your layout.
Compare this in Excel vs MB5L report detail from MM.

Check if you can see a common reason why FI & MM are different,
in our case during stock take on movement type 561 was used but
was incorrectly configured in MM for ± 1 week so the stock a/c in FI got
DR & CR simulatneously while MM was correct.

We took off the autoposting flag from the stock recon a/c,
passed a corrcting journal & then reset the recon a/c status for the
stock a/c (NB only do this if you are sure the difference is on-off & is
not re-occurring.)

Good Luck
