How to set tolerance limits.


In this document, you will see how to set the tolerance limits for goods receipts. So, when
processing a goods receipt, the system checks each item to determine whether the goods
receipt varies from the purchase order or the material master data.

A. Explanation
For this variance, two tolerance keys are provided:

o Tolerance key B1 (error message)

You use tolerance key B1 to define the maximum percentage variance. If the variance is
greater than the maximum variance, the system creates an error message. The user
cannot post the goods receipt.

o Tolerance key B2 (warning message)

Tolerance key B2 defines the percentage variance from which a warning message is to be
issued. It is possible to post the goods receipt.

• Variance for the moving average price of the material

B. Explanation
You use tolerance key VP1 to define the percentage variance from which a warning message is issued. This
warning message indicates a price change

1
VP : Moving average price variance

Default sittings
In the standard system, the tolerance keys for goods receipts for purchase orders are
defined with the following tolerance limits in company code 0001:

• B1 ( order price quantity variance with error message): 50 %

• B2 (order price quantity variance with warning): 20 %

• VP (variance from moving average price) 25 %

Actions
For each tolerance key, maintain the tolerance limits in your company code.

Change tolerance limits


In this following steps you are going to see how to change the lower limit and upper limit
tolerance limits, in the percentage tolerance limit specifies the maximum permissible
percentage variation.

If you have configured these settings, an invoice amount can be up to 10% below the value
determined from the purchase order and the goods receipt. The invoice amount must not
exceed this value.

Limit is not checked


Defines that the system will not check whether the specified tolerance limit is adhered to.

NB: Note that if you set all limits for a tolerance key to Do not check, the system does not
check it. Therefore, any variance is accepted. This does not make sense particularly in the
case of the tolerance key Form small differences automatically.
