SUS Quantity tolerance for confirmation -How to set an warning or error Msg

Question

Hello All,
Does anyone knows how do i configure SUS, so the system will check quantity tolerance in PO confirmation so the Supplier can knows that he is within or over the tolerance?
I would like to set an error message so the supplier will confirm the PO within the tolerance or will reject it.
Thanx a lot,
Sheila Silva

Answer 1

try the following:
in transaction SPRO
goto supplier relatioship management-> cross application basic settings ->set tolerence checks ,
create a new tolerence group, for this group assign the folowing tolerence keys as required.
PM: Quantity variance (converted to currency amount) - <b>this is the one relevant for you i guess.</b>If a confirmation is expected for a purchase order item, the system calculates the purchase order confirmation net price multiplied by the purchase order confirmation quantity. The system compares this sum with the defined upper and lower limits. You can also define percentage limits for the quantity variance check. Then the percentage variance from the expected quantity calculated - independent of the purchase order price - and this is compared with the defined percentage limits.
PZ: Time overrun compared to purchase order
The system determines how many days the delivery date has exceeded the planned time interval by. If the delivery date of the purchase order confirmation is earlier than the delivery date of the purchase order, the system takes the purchase order date - the confirmation date; If the delivery date of the purchase order confirmation is later than the delivery date of the purchase order, the system takes the purchase order confirmation date - the purchase order date. The system compares the number of days with the defined absolute upper limit.
PR: Price variance (value variance from expected value)
Here the variance between the purchase order confirmation and the purchase order price is checked. The system determines for the items the price variance as the product of the quantity in the purchase order confirmation multiplied by the price in the purchase order confirmation, and it compares this variance with the defined percentage and absolute upper and lower limits.
then
in transaction PPOMV_BBP, search for teh relevant vendor,
assign the attribute "tolerence group"(TOG) to the newly created tolerence group for the relevent vendor.
