Invoice Verification (LIV) - Vendor specific Tolerance

Hi Friends ,
Could some one jelp me to understand the following query
1.For company code "XXXX" I have configured invoice tolerance limit ( PP- Price variance) 10 % upper limit. For the same company code XXX I have created Vendor specific tolerance group as 20% upper limit and assigned to a vendor in vendor master. Now which one system will take . I guess it should be Vendor specific tolerance ?
2. In Point one , while creating vendor specific tolerance group , I have not configured anything for Lower limit . But in general tolerance I have configured ( PP- Price variance) Lower limit as 10%. If the invoice value goes below 10% for a vendor for whom we have assigned tolerance group in vendor master , how the system will behave. Will system take lower limit from general tolerance and block the invoice ?  or it will not block as there is no lower limit in vendor specific tolerance group?
Pls help
Deva

Hi
as far as my understanding goes vendor tolerance and tolerance limits are different.
When you specify vendor tolerance limits and attach tolerance group to vendor master, then system issues a warning/error message at time of posting invoice about the difference. If tolerance is with in limits system allows you to process invoice otherwise not.
On otherhand tolerance limits like PP specified in OMR6 transaction are used for invoice blocking. If invoiced value exceeds the tolerance limits specified it will block IV for payment but will not stop user from processing IV.
Thanks

  • Logistic Invoice Verification - OMR6 vs. Vendor specific tolerance

    Hi, a question on the relationship between PP tolerance limit and vendor specific tolerance.
    In OMR6 I have defined an upper an lower limit of 5% for a company on PP. In Vendor specific tolerances I have defined a tolerance group with lower 1% and upper 2%. This group is attached to a specific vendor.
    The purchase order for this vendor shows an amount of 100 euros. When posting the invoice for this purchase order I enter a purchase price of 102,50 ( so 2,5% difference). I did expect that SAP would issue at least a warning when entering and posting the invoice using the MIRO transaction, however I am able to post the invoice without any warning/error.
    Does anyone has a clue why things are not working as expected?
    Thx, Paul

    I did already setup vendor specific tolerances using the path you indicate. Settings are:
    On percentage lower limit
       Check limit : Checked
       PercLowerAccLim : 2%
    On percentage upper limit
       Check limit : Checked
       PercUpperAccLim : 1%
    Thx, Paul

  • Vendor specific tolerance

    Hello All,
    I am trying to set  up Vendor specific tolerance to put a control on Invoice posting
    I have made following Config setting
    MM->Logistic invoice verification -> Incoming Invoice ->Configure vendor specific tolerances.
    Created tolerance group for a specific Company code.
    Maintained this Tolerance group in Vendor master.
    But Invoice posting(MIRO) is still not picking up the this tolerance.
    I able to post any amount for a Purchase Order no error message or warning message relavent to Tolerance settings pops up.
    I there any other additional  configuration setting to be done ?

    Dear Madhava Bheemakumar,
    Try this,
    Goto SPRO-> Material Management->Logistic Invoie Verification->Define Attributes of System Messages
    check Message Number 083 Exist or not ? if not Add the same.
    or
    Check SE91->M8 Messages , Verify which Message number is the correct one for your creteria add the same in above Path.

  • Configure Vendor-Specific Tolerances

    Hi to all I'm tring to set a vendor specific tolerance for the MM invoice verification.
    I've created a Specific tolerance group for a % value in the percentage upper limit in automatic acceptance of positive difference. I've assigned this group to a specific vendor but in miro this check doesn't work. I've inserted also the message number 83.
    could someone help me ?

    If you have defined the tolerance group properly for the company code and assigned in to vendor master field LFB1-TOGRR than it will give you an error for Account determination of DIF. which you have to define in OBYC to settle this diff.
    it is working in my sysstem.
    chech your vendot master and your config.

  • Vendor Specific Tolerances

    I read all the documentation on vendor specific tolerances and am now completely confused. We already have tolerance limits set up for all vendors in regards to price (PP) and quantity.  The price variance is set to $100 or 50%, whichever comes first.
    Now, we want to apply different tolerances to specific vendors. The idea is to block an invoice if the price is greater than $2 or 1%, whichever comes first.
    I think I have everything set up correctly (including identifying this new tolerance for the specific vendor).
    Under automatic acceptance of positive differences:
    Positive small difference (check limit box is not checked)
    Small diff.     2.00
    Absolute Upper limit (check limit box is checked)
    PosAccUpperLimt 2.00
    Percentage Upper limit (check limit box is checked)
    PercUpperAccLim 1.00  %
    I was able to process an invoice and get it to block due to the 1% rule.  But, when I ran MRBR, the invoice block was removed.  I did not change the price on the PO to match the invoice.
    Am I missing something or is this the way vendor specific tolerances work?
    Monique Stephens

    when you run MRBR and the release automatically radio button has selected then it will release immi.
    see SAP help
    When you release invoices automatically, the system deletes all blocking reasons that no longer apply. For more information and examples, see Validity of a Block.
    When all blocking reasons in an invoice are deleted, the system automatically releases the invoice.
    Note that invoices for which a manual block was set in the document header in addition to the blocking reasons in individual items are not automatically released if the blocking reasons in all items no longer apply. You must release any invoices with a manual payment block in the document header separately. Select the invoices using the blocking procedure Manual Payment Block and choose Release Manually.
    If you select the Move cash discount date field on the initial screen, the agreed cash discount period is retained.
    Canceled invoices are not taken into account.
    Prerequisites
    It is only possible to automatically release invoices if their blocking reasons are no longer valid. This can be the case for invoices blocked due to quantity, price, or schedule variances, or due to quality inspection.
    You can only use the function Release automatically for the blocking procedure Blocked due to variances.

  • Logistics Invoice Verification (LIV) -IR before GR

    Hi All,
    We're going to post an invoice for a certain Purchase Order (PO) where no goods receipts had been posted yet. Is there any anyone who knows what tolerance key and system message should I need to configured in order for the system to check the quantity entered during the first invoice posting. If the quantity entered during the first invoice posting is greater than the PO quantity then system should prompt an error message.
    Any information will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Just Chk this path
    Spro -> MM -> Purchasing -> PO -> Define Screen Layout at Document Level
    Select ME22 and Then GR/IR control
    Make GR-based invoice verification field as Display
    Hence, nobody can do any changes as those details will be picked up by the Vendor Master and Vendor Info Records.
    Pls correct me, if I'm Wrong
    Assign Pts if possible

  • Logistis Invoice Verification(LIV) process

    Hi Experts,
    Can you please tell me abt the LIV process in details.In my scenario,When an IDOC of type INVOIC02 message type INVL/INVM is successfully posted to SAP system form XI system,it will trigger LIV process.But I dont know how this actually happens and what code i have to write for this interface.
    Also provide me some code for this.
    Thanks a lot
    Regards
    Krishan

    LIV is the process to pay the vendor
    once you create the PO, you can receive the GR agianst the PO and than Post the invoice if your PO is GR based IR checked OR
    you can Post the invoice before GR also but in this case the GR based IV should not be checked in the PO.
    Now this process has nothing to do with ABAP Implementaion.
    ABAP can develope for this transction if somthing require for custom logic.

  • Quantity Tolerance in Invoice Verification

    All,
    I have an issue in Direct Trading flow. PO qty received at 10,500, sales order qty 10,500, billing document 10,500 and invoice qty at 10,500.05.  The system is not allowing me to close the sales order due to the weight discrepancy in logistics invoice.
    Is there any customizing available to set a quantity tolerance in Invoice Verification (as the one existing for Amount)?
    I tried to check final invoice in the invoice tab of my PO but it did not work : sales order is still "Being processed".
    Thanks in advance,
    Laure

    hi,
    Your question is little confusing...Do you wanna check the duplicate invoice check...then check SPRO settings here:SPRO >> MM >> LIV >> Check for duplicate invoices...
    If you want to have the tolerances applied then check here:
    SPRO>> MM >> LIV >> Incoming invoice >> set up vendor specific tolerances...but remember that this will be in terms of amount with respect to that quantity...so if the tolerance is 0% then the amount shd be exactly same...otherwise the system will block the invoice for qty variance...
    Hope it helps..

  • Setting tolerances for Incoming Inv - Vendor specific quantity tolerance

    Hello SAP Gurus,
    My concern is incoming EDI based Vendor invoices are getting blocked due to quantity variations. Being inter Company, I wanted to set quantity tolerances specific to one Vendor so that invoices are not blocked. As I have seen wiki http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPSCM/MM-IV-LIV-CRESetTolerancesforIncoming+Invoice under Vendor specific tolerances there is *no quantity specifc settings* however I found value specific tolerance whereas my requirement is to set against quantity. Is it possible to maintain Vendor specific quantity settings? Is there any requirement to maintain quantity tolerance or value tolerance itself enough to handle?
    Pls. help at the earliest.

  • Tolerance Keys in Logistics Invoice Verification.

    Dear All,
    What is the difference in working of following tolerance keys:
    AN - Item with order reference (can be set at more specific level i.e. item category).
    PP - Price Variance.
    I could set up PP & make system work as expected but if when I set AN with item category 'Standard' & GR indicator ticked, all Invoices are blocked for payment irrespective of the limit specified !! Dont know where am going wrong.
    Also, how Vendor Specific Tolerances exactly works ?
    As per my understanding, the vendor specific tolerances does not work if we change the PO Price in the LIV so as to load the difference to the material, correct ? It only works, if the difference is posted to total invoice amount, keeping the automatically populated PO Price in LIV as it is, the difference is posted to small difference account.
    Actually, my requirement is setup either of these tolerances for EDI processing of LIV.
    Pls. help.
    Thanks,
    Nandish.

  • Invoice verification item tolerance

    HI experts
    I actived the invoice verification item tolerance check function.and set the upper limit 1000EUR.
    then I created a po with price 1500eur. after goods receipt, I did invoice verification by referring
    the po.system generated a document successfully. but seems system didn't check the item
    tolerance. can anyone give some suggestion? thank you!

    hi,
    You need to do two things:
    1. Activate item amount check
    2. Set item amount check....
    Item amount check can't be taken into consideration when you go for vendor specific tolerance...because it works for total based acceptance ..but willnot work for the item wise amount check...
    Have you properly activated the amount check in the SPRO settings or not...DO check it properly...
    Regards
    Priyanka.P

  • Vendor invoice and logistic invoice verification ?

    Good morning Guru,
    What is the difference between  "vendor invoice" in accounting module and "logistic invoice verification"  in MM module ?
    I know logistic invoice verification to validate between po, gr and invoice, but what vendor invoice for ?
    Thank's

    Hi
    Accounting-wise both has the same result as in both the scenarios you can debit expense and credit vendor. The advantage of Logistics Invoice Verification over Vendor Invoice is, in Logistics Invoice verification, we have three way matching of documents ie PO,GR and Invoice. So if there is any mismatch between these, the invoice will get blocked for payment. Also it checks for accuracy between PO and invoice and GR and invoice, so that the expenses are accounted accurately and price diff account also effected appropriately.
    In Vendor invoice booking, it is just like your normal journal entry and so it has not got that much authenticity over the correctness of transactions. In vendor invoice booking, there is every possibility of duplicate booking of invoice, whereas in LIV, the invoice will get blocked for payment.
    Hope it is clear.

  • Tolerance keys in Invoice Verification

    I have a question regarding tolerance limits:
    In the logistical invoice verification there are several tolerance keys. The explanation in SAP help is so difficult for someone to understand
    Can somebody explain me how these work in the system? Not the standard help text please, but more a practical example.

    To be honest the SAP config. help text is OK.  Create a calculation for yourself based on the help text and then experiment with an example in your sandbox system.
    As a minimum use the 'principle' key PP and probably also AN, AP, BD, DQ.

  • Invoice reductions in Logistics Invoice Verification (RKA)

    Hi all,
    I´m trying to customize the automatic invoice reductions but I´ve never done before and I don´t know if I´m following the proper steps, so if someone can help me I´d really appreciate it.
    This is what I´ve done so far:
    1- Obyc. Select Accounts are determined by Debit/Credit
                 Posting keys debit 21 credit 50
                 Debit account 4xxx Credit account 6xxxxxxx
    2. Spro. Log Invoice Verification-> Incoming invoice->Number assig-> Mantain number account document
                        MIRO. document type for invoice reduction KG
    3. Spro. Log Invoice Verification-> Incoming invoice->Configure vendor specific tolerances
              I create a tolerance group with automatic invoice reduction
    4. I select this tolerance group at the vendor master data of my invoice
    5. I create the invoice an select the field vendor error.
    When I post the invoice I get the following error:
    No account is specified in item 0000000003
    Message no. F5670
    Diagnosis
    No account was specified for account type "K" in item "0000000003" of the FI/CO document.
    Thanks and Best Regards

    go to SM30 and enter the table V_TF123 hit pencil bitton and maintain the account for account type K
    e.g 
    Accty = K        from a/c= 0       to account = 9999999999

  • Vendor-Specific Tolerence Groupsare not working in MIRO

    Hi
    We have defined new Tolerance group-1000 and assinged in vendor master.
    This Telerance group is to allow $10+/- for small differences
    It works fine for Autmatic acceptance of positive differece up to $10,
    with/without taxes. But It doesn't work for Autmatic acceptance of
    negtive(-) differece with taxes.
    Also let us know, if there is a provision to maintain a description for
    Tolerance group.
    I am copying you the tech doc for your quick reference:
    Configure Vendor-Specific Tolerances
    In this step, you define tolerance groups for each company code. You can assign these tolerance groups to each vendor in the vendor master
    record.
    You can define the following tolerances:
    Total-based acceptance
    If the difference is within the tolerance range, the system
    automatically generates a difference line on a neutral income/expense
    account for small differences for invoices with debit/credit differences when posting the invoice.
    Total-based invoice reduction
    If the difference is within the tolerance range, the system posts the
    difference to a clearing account and generates a credit memo in a second document to clear this.
    The system uses the following logic:
    1. The system determines the difference between the net invoice amount
    (= gross invoice amount less taxes and unplanned delivery costs) and the net total of the items.
    If the net invoice amount is the greater, the difference is positive; if the net invoice amount is the smaller, the difference is negative.
    2. Negative differences:
    a) If the negative difference is smaller than the absolute negative
    small difference limit defined, the system generates a posting to a
    small differences account for this difference.
    b) If the negative difference is greater than the absolute small
    difference limit defined, the system checks if the absolute difference
    is smaller than the lower of the absolute and percentage lower limits.
    If this is the case, the system creates a posting to a small differences account.
    If this is not the case, the system cannot post the invoice.
    3. Positive differences:
    a) If the positive difference is smaller than the positive small
    difference limit defined, the system generates a posting to a small
    differences account for this difference.
    b) If the positive difference is greater than the positive small
    difference limit defined and the Check limit field isnot selected for
    total-based invoice reduction, the system checks whether the positive
    difference is smaller than the lower of the absolute and percentage
    upper limits.
    If this is the case, the system creates a posting to a small differences account.
    If this is not the case, the system cannot post the invoice.
    c) If the positive difference is greater than the positive small
    difference limit defined and the Check limit field is selected for
    total-based invoice reduction, the system checks if the difference is
    smaller than the lower of the absolute and percentage upper limits for
    total-based invoice reduction.
    If this is the case, the system generates a posting to a clearing
    account for invoice reduction and creates a credit memo document.
    If this is not the case, the system cannot post the invoice.
    The system does not try to reduce the invoice based on the total in the
    following cases:
    - If you manually reduced an invoice item
    - If you manually accepted a difference in the document header
    - If you entered a credit memo
    In these cases, the system checks directly whether it can accept the
    positive difference.
    Activities
    Specify
    Up to which amount the system should automatically clear a balance when
    a balance exists
    How the system should post the difference
    Further Notes
    If the system can create a small difference, it posts this difference to the account specified in account determination for transaction DIF.
    See: Configure Automatic Postings
    If no tolerance group is assigned to a vendor or if no tolerances have
    been specified for the assigned tolerance group, the system creates a
    difference line if the difference is smaller than the tolerance defined
    for tolerance key BD.
    See: Set Tolerance Limits
    Example
    There is an invoice in the system to be posted; the vendor-specific
    tolerances are defined for the invoicing party as follows:
    Total-based acceptance of negative differences
    - Check absolute lower limit: 200.00-
    - Check percentage lower limit:4.00 %
    - Check negative small difference: 10.00-
    Total-based acceptance of positive differences
    - Check positive small difference: 5.00
    - Check absolute upper limit:30.00
    - Check percentage upper limit:2.00 %
    Total-based invoice reduction
    - Do not check absolute and percentage upper limits
    The invoice value expected by the system is 4000.
