GLPCT has entries from MM, SD & other origin objects but not in GLPCA

Question

Hello,
We have a situation as below: amounts are not actuals to simpliy problem:
GL account involved is ABC which is a Retained earnings account.
FBL3N displays 100
GLPCA displays 100 with origin object as 35 - entries from FI
But GLPCT displays 160.
Reason is that in GLPCT there are lines with many more origin objects. There exists a line with origin object 35 which is exactly displaying the figure of 100.
But there are additional lines with origin ojects like :
1 Profit center
2 Cost center
4 Production order
5 Billing document
7 WBS Element
9 Network activity
45 Reconcilation object
Of these I could understand that if suppose we have a direct entry in PCA then in GLPCA & GLPCT we have lines with origin object 1. But currently we dont have any line in GLPCA with origin object 1.
Also a major question is how other origin objects are updated in GLPCT without reference in GLPCA & no link in GL line items BSEG.
The problem is that users want to run report S_ALR87013340 & are comparing with total of FBL3N. But the report shows the total of all the origin objects in GLPCT & hence the balance is never balancing with FBL3N.
Note - No archiving has been carried out.
Please help in understanding the GLPCT updates.
Thanks & Regards

Hello Eli,
Thanks for the prompt response. I have read the note. It doesnt explain however from where these various origin objects are getting updated in GLPCT.
The problem is not that the total for origin object 35 is different. It is exactly matching in GLPCT, GLPCA & GL line items.
But how to understand & trace what are the entries which are updating different origin objects in GLPCT directly.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards
