Quantity variance

I have a situation where sometimes, an invoice is created before a GR.
There is a quantity variance between the PO and the invoice and the invoice has already been paid. The GR is now calculating it off-- the invoice as it is supposed to.
There however is no price variance.. Its probably a user error while entering the invoice qty.
Thus a GR is not created correctly as it is taking the Price and the quantity reference. How do we make sure the PO matches the GR now or teh GR matches the PO.

Po corrected and MR11 used to clear differences

To set a Tolerance limit in a Purchase order, for quantity variance.

Hi ,
I am looking for an option to have a tolerance limit set in a PO to check the quantity variance.
Please advice.
Thanks

Quantity Variance in Invoice Verification

Dear All
I have a requirement where the system should display error in Invoice Verification if the quantity exceeds Goods Receipt quantity however there should be seperate treatment.
ie.If the quantity variance upto 5 percent is allowed for raw material but for spares material no variance is allowed.
Can we have the tolerances configured for material type.
Regards

Hi,
configure the tolerance key DQ for the quantity variance.

Quantity variance in Invoice Vs. Three way match in PO

Hi Experts,
I am not able to find any differrence between quantity variance Vs. Three way match in PO.
For example in our purchase orders for all the items we are having Two way match (PO-Inv, GR-Bsd Inv is not checked) but we have defined quantity varaince in Invoice. So when we are trying to post invoice for purchase order item for which goods reciept is not performed, system is blocking the invoice due to quantity variance.
So i think if you have quantity variance at invoice level then system is going to check whether goods reciept is perfromed or not regardless of Two way or three way match.
Please advise if my understanding above is correct.
My second question is as we can define two way/three way match at various level (Supplier, Inforecord etc.). Is there anyway that i can define that quantity variance in Invoice should be for certain material groups only.
Please advise.
Regards,
Kamal

hi,
when you set the qty variance, and try to post the invoice just after the PO, the system will show a message at IR ie. " Quantity delivered is Zero"...
this message is warning message...
The system will block the invoice item when the doc is posted, depending on how the tolerance key DW is set(Qty variance to Gr qty = zero)...
Hope it helps..

Hi,
Go to SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Material Master Define Purchasing Value Keys - Here define the Purchasing Value Key with Underdelivery and Overdelivery Tolerances as per the requirement and maintain the same in Purchasing view of material master. Same will get copied to Purchase Info Record (If created manually) or in PO directly which will have control over GR QTy as compared with PO QTy.

MRBR release invoices automatically quantity variance

For a purchase order item there are several good receipts
and several invoices. Although the quantity of the goods receipt is smaller than the quantity invoiced, the quantity of goods received is bigger than the first invoice. So the first invoice should be released automatically. However no invoice is released!
Is this how SAP works standard, or can I customize this somewhere?
Example:
quantity received: 100 + 100 = 200
quantity invoiced:
invoice 1:   100
invoice 2:   200
total    :   300

Hello,
The GR-based IV flag is not on for the item. Thank you for your answer, but is does not help me.
I believe there is no solution for this problem.
This is the way how SAP works. At the moment an invoice is posted the systems checks the quantity invoiced and received (and other checks). If something is wrong the invoice gets a block at that moment. Later with the automatically release of invoices the systems checks if the quantity variance still exists.
With tolerance limit DQ the system checks for all invoices with a block if the total quantity invoiced is less or equal to the total quantity received. So the system does not check only the quantity of the invoice with a block.
If you change the limit of tolerance limit DQ to 5000 euro to many invoices will be released, also invoices that should keep a block.
For example:
quantity received: 3
quantity invoiced: 3+3= 6.(both invoices had a block, because DQ absolute limit was zero).
After raising the limit to 5000 euro, both invoices were released, which is wrong!
It is logical that DQ should have a low limit. SAP only tries to relase the invoices with block. There also can be invoices without block.
For example:
quantity received: 3 - 3 + 3 = 3
quantity invoiced: 3 (block)
          +3 (no block)= 6.
The invoice with block should not be released. SAP only knows this when SAP does a check of the total quantity invoiced and received.

Acknowledgment for PO item contains quantity variance

hi friends,
My scenario is to create a Purchase Order on Client A and through the Output Control I need to create a Sales Order on Client B and send the Order Acknowledgement(ORDRSP) for the Corresponding Purchase Order.
Iam through upto creating a Sales Order but when iam trying to send the Acknowledgement using the Output Control
Iam getting an error :
Confirmation control key missing for PO item .
when I attach a Confirmation Control Key while Creating PO
It is giving an error :
Acknowledgment for PO item contains quantity variance
Please respond quickly.
Thanks in advance.
Ganga Prasad

Hi,
check both IDOC, the ORDERS and the ORDRSP, whether they contain the same quantity.
Maybe the SD-part is rounding up your order, e.g. you order 5 bottles of wine and the wine is only sold in 6 bottle packadges.
If you find my answer useful, please don't forget the reward.

MRBR : quantity variance

on running the tcode MRBR system dose not release the invoice with blocking reason quantity variance even though the total quantity in the PO has been already recived.
the details of scenerio are
1. PO with grbased IV marked for first line item and created for 10 pc
2. IV posted for 6 pc and so it got blocked with quantity varaince as no gr done till now
3. now gr posted for 4 pc
4 again gr posted for remaining quantity that is 6 pc
5 IV posted for 4 pc
6 MRBR run but the first invoice which was blocked due to quanityt variance is still not getting release automatically and it shows the reason for blocking as valid and no looking at entry in rbkp_blocked it shows no entry there
now the last invoice does not get blocked as per the standard system behaviour but the first invoice should have been release but it is not getting released automatically
i have also searched some sap notes but none meet my requirment

Thanks for your response
and i understand for GR based IV is that system dose not block the invoice in case if you have recived atleast 1 qty of goods ordered and if you have not at all recived any goods and you try to post the invoice then system dose not allow you to do so
but here the question is not of the GR based IV thing rather here i am pointing towards the abrupt system behaviour in MRBR for the invoice which is automatically blocked and not manually done as when it was posted there was no GR done and as mentioned by utsav in his post that for such cases we have a tolerance key called as DW to block the invoice where gr qty=0
but now as all the gr has been done for the po so now why the system is not unblocking this invoice and in addition to the information i have mentioned above i will add that i have also run this scenreio in quality system and the invoice gets unblocked but the same is not ahppening in production client and to my surprise this is happening only for a particular company code and not for all. now i doubt that can it happen due to some malfunctioning of enhancement

Invoice blocked for price variance or quantity variance

Dear friends,
In case if in the PO, either there is a price difference between GR and IR or a quantity difference between GR and IR, then does the invoice posted stays automatically in a "blocked" status??
If not, then can we manually do some configuration to make this possible? The intention is that such invoices(with price variance or quantity variance) should remain in blocked status and should not be picked for payment in F110 run.
Please advise asap.
Rgds,
Kunal Vichare.

Order price quantity variance

Hi
What are the restrictions that can be maintained for order price and quantity variance?
Regards

Hi,
Go to SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set Tolerance Limits for Price Variance (It will be considered during PO)
The standard SAP System supplied contains the following tolerance keys:
o   PE   Price variance, Purchasing
    -   Tolerance limit for system message no. 207. This message appears
        if the specified effective price exceeds the predefined
        tolerances when compared with the material price.
o   SE   Maximum cash discount deduction, Purchasing
    -   Tolerance limit for system message no. 231. This is a warning
        message, which appears when the specified cash discount
        percentage exceeds the predefined tolerances.
Go to SPRO > MM > Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Goods Receipt > Set Tolerance Limits
o   B1 ( order price quantity variance with error message)
o   B2 (order price quantity variance with warning):
o   VP (variance from moving average price)
Go to SPRO > MM > Logistics Invoice Verification > Invoice Block > Set Tolerance Limits
BR   Percentage OPUn variance (IR before GR)
BW   Percentage OPUn variance (GR before IR)
DQ   Exceed amount: quantity variance
DW   Quantity variance when GR qty = zero
PP   Price variance
PS   Price variance: estimated price

Quantity Variance block for Invoice

Hi All,
In one scenario I have ordered 27,000KG Materials for 90 per 1000 KG.I did the GR for whole quanity( 27,000 ).
But while doing Invoice I booked for 27 KG as quantity and amount as 2430. Instead of 27,000 KG i did booked Invoice for 27KG with the total amount.Invoice got block with reason price variance.
Here my question is why system is only blocked for price variance ? it should have blocked for Quantity varaince why it is not?
I maintained l tolerance key (DQ) for Quantity variance with higher & low limits.Still it is not blocked with quantity reason.
I have noticed that it is blocking invoice with quantity variance when I entered more quantity than delivered quantity.But why it is happening when I entered less quantity.Can any one explain what could be the reason.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Srikanth P.

The lower tolerances generally don't produce a block. They are warning or informational only.
You don't really want a block either. If 100kg are received as 2 x 50kg but you only get an invoice for 50 but at the correct price, you don't want a block. You simply expect another invoice for 50kg.

Price/Quantity Variance in Production Order

Hi
How does Price and Quantity Variances are calculated for a Production Order?
Regards
Kailash

Hi Kailash,
The variances relating to Input Price and Input Quantity are calculated on following basis...
Input price variances
Input price variances are caused by differences between the planned and actual prices of the materials and activities used.
The system can only calculate input price variances if quantities were specified in addition to the planned and actual costs. The following conditions must be met for this:
You need t turn on the Material origin indicator in the costing view of the master record of all materials that have a large influence on your costs. Uniform units of measure must be assigned to all input materials. That is, material costs can only be totaled under a cost element when such costs are carried under the same unit of measure.
If you have defined primary input price variances in Customizing, the system will calculate input price variance percentages and update them with reference to the operation. When you start the variance calculation process at the end of the period, this data will be canceled and the input price variances calculated by multiplying the difference between the planned price and the actual price by the confirmed quantity. If the confirmed quantities are incomplete or do not exist, input price variance percentages will be shown.
Input quantity variances
Input quantity variances are caused by differences between the planned and actual consumption quantities of materials and activities. You need to turn on the Material origin indicator in the costing view of the master record of all materials that have a large influence on your costs.
As a whole, if you want to see input quantity variances and input price variances, you must make the following settings:
Turn on the Material origin indicator in the costing view of the material master record.
Turn on the Record quantity indicator in the cost element.
When it calculates the variances, the system does not check whether the Record quantity indicator is turned on. If quantities are not recorded, however, it is not possible to calculate quantity variances. If the Record quantity indicator is turned on, a warning message is issued if you do not enter a quantity in consumption postings.
Pls revert back for further explanation....

Input Quantity Variance and Input Price Variance for Production Order

Dear All
I am running variance program KKS2 for calculating variance of production order. for Activity variances are coming under input price variance and input quantity varinace but for material the variances is now shown separately for quantity and price rather it is shown as variances total amount. Can someone help me in know why material quanitty variance and price variance not shown separately
Regards

How does input variance and output varia.nce will be calculated on the settlement of production order after TECO.
VARIANCE CALCULATION DEPENDS ON CONFIGURATION IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS,
1) VARIANCE VARIANT - DETERMINES WHAT VAREIANCE CATEGORIES ARE CALCULATED, E.G MATERIAL PRICE , USAGE, LABOUR RATE , USAGE VARIANCE ETC..
2) TARGET COST VERSIONS
3) VALUATION VARIANT FOR WIP AND SCRAP
Can we check in KOB3 or COOIS.
KOB3 - YES
COOIS - CHECK IN COST REPORT

Purchase order price variance and quantity variance

Hi All ,
     I am working on a report development where we need price change , value change and quantity change in the report along with net value (ekpo-netwr) .
    Can anybody suggest me tables in ECC where the changes (price,quantity and total value ) are captured ??? and if there is any BI content datasource which can satisfy this requirement.
