AP: Tolerance Group under payment transactions

Good Morning SAP Folks-
What is the purpose of the tolerance group under payment transactions under the Vendor Master?
Thank you!

Hi
Incase of difference in vendor payments(overpayment / underpayment), tolerance group assigned in the vendor master determines whether the difference has to be allowed or not.
Assignment of tolerance group in vendor master is optional. General tolarance for Vendors is set in OBA3 transaction in configuration.

Grouping vendor payments using Grouping key issue

Hello Gurus,
I created a new grouping key in config to be assigned to the vendor master (under Payments Transactions Accounting). The grouping key fields used were BUDAT (Posting Date) and ZFBDT (Baseline Payment Date). The automatic payment program should group payments to vendors based on this grouping key.
This solution works fine when the vendors have a negative amount in the automatic payment program run. However, if the vendor has a positive balance (due to payroll related adjustments), the payment program will not process the line item. Since we are grouping open vendor items by posting date and baseline payment date, the system treats this as a unique grouping key and is not clearing against any subsequent payment runs (because of different posting date and baseline date).
Is there a way to clear the positive balance without manual intervention? The solution works fine otherwise.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Functionally, a credit amount means it is treated as an Invoice. Meaning that your company is required to make the payment to the vendor. In other words, your company liable to make the payment for the minus amounts.
Whereas, the debit entries are nothing but debit notes, in sap you call as credit memo. These are NOT to be paid to the vendor. You need to adjust them from the invoice amounts (minus figures) before making the payment.
I would suggest you run F-44 or F.13 to clear them (net of minus and plus values). Then you will have only minus figures. Later you run F110.
If you want to clear them automatically in F.13, you should have configuration (criteria) in OB74.
Please let me know if you need any further details.

Vendor Tolerance Group in automatic payment program F110

Hi Experts,
We use automatic payment program F110 for payment to vendors. We want to define different tolerance group having different grace days to vendors.
e.g. Vendor 1 having tolerance group with 5 days as grace period
Vendor 2 having tolerance group with 10 days as grace period
Is it possible to have different grace days for making payment through F110. We donot want to make manual payment.
Thanks & Regards.

Assign Customers/Vendors to Tolerance Group

Hello,
I have defined tolerance group for customers/vendors in SPRO,
but I don't understand how to assign cusomers/vendors to this group.
I suppose that somewhere in master data, but I cannot find where.
Can anyone help, pls?
Is there anyway how to assign all customers/vendors from specific company code?
thanks
D.

Hi Dylan,
If the field Tolerance group (KNB1-TOGRU) for customers seems to be hidden, please check your settings in the following transactions:
OBD2 - Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Customers)
OB21 - Define Screen Layout per Company Code (Customers)
OB20 - Define Screen Layout per Activity (Customers)
Under Company code data - Payment transactions -> Tolerance group
The field have to be set at least 'Optional entry' to change or fill it.
Then you can go to FD02 or transaction MASS to update the cusomer master.

Employee tolerance group&G/L acct tolerance group&Customer/Vendor toler.grp

Hi All,
Can anyone explain me in detail about employee tolerance group, G/L acct tolerance group and Customer/Vendor tolerance group?
what is the difference among them and do they have any linkages, like consistency, conflict etc.
Any responses will be awarded,
Regards,
Samson

Hi,
In accounting there are three types of tolerances: Employee tolerance groups, G/L
account tolerance groups, and customer/vendor tolerance groups.
The employee tolerance group is used to control:
1. Upper limits for posting transactions
2. Permitted payment differences
The G/L account tolerance group is used to control:
1. Permitted payment differences (for example, for automatic clearing procedures).
The customer/vendor tolerance groups provide specifications for:
1. Clearing transactions
2. Permitted payment differences
3. Posting residual items from payment differences
4. Tolerances for payment advice notes
The configuration for Tolerance group is:
Tolerance groups for employees, for example:
1. Accountant I
2. Accountant II
3. Accounting manager
Tolerance groups for customers/vendors, for example:
1. Good customers/vendors
2. Not so good customers/vendors
3. Cash only customers/vendors
Tolerance groups for G/L accounts, for example:
1. Clearing accounts (external procurement)
2. Clearing accounts (in-house production)

Over/Under Payment Question

For a customer I want to be able to handle over/under payments different depending on whether there is a small or large over or under payment. If there is a small difference, I want the difference to go to a seperate G/L account. If there is a large difference, I would like to have the difference posted as a residual. I have a EDI process that is filtering this data in and will always use a reason code with it. I have attached this reason code to a G/L account.
What I have experienced is that I through the process I can get the difference to post to the seperate G/L account - but it is posted there whether it is a small or large difference. I have tried to change tolerance amounts for both the company code group and the user group, but this does not seem to make a difference.
Is there a way anybody knows that I could have some sort of tolerance or restriction on the G/L account so only small amounts would be placed into the account and larger amounts would have a residual created?

So how would I get the small differences to automatically clear to a seperate G/L account?
I still need the functionallity of automatically posting the small differences to the G/L account, but posting the larger differences to a residual.

Grouping of payment requests for Wire transfer in f110

Hi Gurus
Please let me know how to Group the payment requests which has Wire transfer as the payment method.
Actually can we group the payment requests for the Wire transfer payment method
I have to show the balance carried forward for the payment advice by grouping them.
If you know solution please let me know.
Thanks in advance
Meenkashi

Meenakshi, You can group the payment request with payment method 'wire'. For grouping them you have to fulfill the following criteria:
1. On the payment method the 'single payment' should not be checked. This is normally the case and in most situations people realize this after lot of failed efforts to find why it is not grouping.
2. On the Business Partner master data you should not have checked 'individual payment' in the 'Payment details' TAB under each company code.(BP role 'Counterparty'
3.In the FRFT screen (if you are doing bank-to-bank transfers and for which you don't need Business Partners) the 'individual payment' should not be checked
4. Onthe BP master data, if you select 'same direction' payment requests flowing in one direction (outflow or inflow) can only be grouped. sometime you would need to group both inflow and outflow (for e.g. In case of commercial paper when you invest, you have to pay only the net amount (Principal - Interest). However SAP generates two different flows - Principal which is outflow, Interest which is inflow.)
5. On the Transaction, in the Payment details TAB you have a slew of options to group - All within Treasury can be grouped, All of a Product category can be grouped, Only flows from an ID no. etc. etc.
6. On the transaction again in the payment details TAB see to it and that you have not checked 'individual payment'.
Hope this helps

OBA4 FI tolerance groups for users - GL account

Dear All,
May I know where is the gl account defined for the permitted payment differences? If in FBKP, then which group to define?
Thanks

Hi
Please use the below mentioned path to define tolerance groups for users and also refer to follow the below link
For normal price difference clearing use the Tcode:OBXL
http://www.scribd.com/doc/51496069/17/Assign-User-Tolerance-Groups
for details please go through the below mentioned points
SPRO>Financial Accounting>General Ledger Accounting>Business Transactions>Open Item Clearing>Clearing Differences>Define Tolerance Groups for G/L Accounts/Define Tolerance Groups for Employees
Upper limit for posting procedure
Maximum Amount Posted per Document
Maximum permitted posting amount per document for this user group.
The posting amount is the total of all debit items or, similarly, the total of all credit items.
Maximum Posting Amount per Line Item
Maximum posting amount permitted per customer or vendor item for this user group.
Maximum Cash Discount Percentage Rate
Maximum cash discount percentage rate which may be assigned by an employee of the user group.
Use
The percentage rate is checked during the entry, change and clearing of open items.
Note
The restriction does not apply to automatically created line items, for example, during payment settlements.
Permitted payment difference
Maximum Payment Difference for Revenue
Payment differences to our advantage are allowed up to the amount entered here.
The amount always refers to the local currency. Payment differences up to the amount entered here are posted automatically by the system as increasing the profit. The system creates line items to show this.
Note
In addition to the amount, you also enter a percentage rate in the Percent field. The lower limit is valid. If you only want to use absolute amounts or percentage specifications, then you must enter the maximum value in every other field.
Note that you define these limits for your customers/vendors and your employees. The lower limit is valid.
Example
The local currency is USD. You have entered 30 USD in the Revenue field and 1 in the Percent field. For incoming payments up to 3000 USD, you accept an overpayment of a maximum of 1 percent. That means, amounts of 0 to a maximum of 30 USD are tolerated, depending on the incoming payment amount. For incoming payments over 3000 USD, you accept an overpayment of up to a maximum of 30 USD.
Maximum Allowable Revenues from Payment Differences
Differences when settling payments are accepted and posted automatically by the system up to the percentage rate entered here. The percentage rate is only valid if the difference is posted as a gain.
The percentage rate is used for the maximum of the debit and credit totals of the items to be cleared.
Note
In addition to the percentage rate, you also enter an amount in the Revenue field. The lower limit is valid. If you only want to use absolute amounts or percentage specifications, you must enter the maximum value in every other field.
Note: You define these limits for your customer/vendor and your employees. The lower limit is valid.
Example
The local currency is USD. You have entered 30 USD in the Revenue field and 1 in the Percent field. For incoming payments of up to 3000 USD, you accept an overpayment of a maximum of 1 percent. That means, amounts of 0 to a maximum of 30 USD are tolerated, depending on the incoming payment amount. For incoming payments over 3000 USD, you accept an overpayment of up to a maximum of 30 USD.
Maximum Discount Adjust. for Gain from Payment Differences
When clearing payments, any payment differences up to the amount specified here are corrected with the cash discount posting as long as the cash discount amount is large enough for the adjustment. The value you specify here is used for differences that represent a gain.

Tolerance Groups

Can anybody please tell me in detail the following:
1) What are the tolerance groups for in MM and what are tolerances? What is the difference between tolerances and tolerance groups?
2) What are the tolerance groups for in AP and what are tolerances? What is the difference between tolerances and tolerance groups?
Thanks

In IMG, FI path.
OBA4 - Define Tolerance Groups for Employees - here we specify upper limits for postings and permitted payment differnces. Usually we leave the tolerance group field as blank as the users, by default, have a blank tolerance group assigned to them. You can create a tolerance group with a 4-character ID in OBA4 (instead of leaving it blank) if you want two (or more) tolerance groups and then assign that tolerance group to required users in OB57.
In OBA3, you can create tolerance groups which can be assigned in customer/vendor master records. If you want to work with uniform tolerances for all customers/vendors in a company code, create a tolerance group with the key "blank" in that company code. In this case, it will not be necessary to enter a tolerance group in the customer/vendor master record.
In MM-LIV-Authorization Management path, you have the node "Assign User Tolerane Group" (T Code OMRC), which is same as OB57. In the same path, there is OMRB (Define Tolerance Groups) which is same as OBA4 in the FI path.
Then there is "Configure Vendor-Specific Tolerances" (T Code OMRX) in MM-LIV-Incoming Invoice, where you define tolerance groups for each company code. You can assign these tolerance groups to each vendor in the vendor master record.
In MM-LIV-Invoice Block, use can use "Set Tolerance Limits" (OMR6) to specify the tolerance limit for each tolerance key. These keys are SAP standard.
Tolerance is the deviation allowed in a transaction. Tolerance group is just to group together certain users / customers / vendors for whom you want same tolerance allowed.
Assign pts it this helps!!!

Vendor Master- Prepayment field on Payment Transaction Accounting

This field under Invoice verification tab has 4 options- one of which is - leave blank/ space and this will prevent the system from posting Prepayment against this vendor.
I have left this field blank yet I can post Down payment against this vendor using F-47 and F-48- what am I missing? Does the term Prepayment term means something dofferent than Down payment?

In F110 goto the Printout/data medium tab, there click on the Variant name against pgm - RFFOUS_C, say it is Z_VAR1, now click on the 'Maintain Variants' (pushbutton on tool bar)
