Hi Swapna
You can assign the tolerance group for GL in its master data.
But before this, you may have to make this optional/mandatory in the relevant Account group i.e. in T.code OBD4.

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.

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!!!

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.

Tolerance Group for G/L Accounts

Hello,
In the spro Financial Accounting>General Ledger Accounting>Business Transactions>Open Item Clearing>Clearing Differences-->Define Tolerance Groups for G/L Accounts, according to SAP documentation it is possible: "For G/L account clearing, tolerance groups define the limits within which differences are accepted and automatically posted to predefined
accounts. The groups defined here can be assigned in the general ledger account master record".
I put these setting:
Company Code: XXXX
Tolerance group: XXX
Name: XXXXX
Debit Posting: 0,01 Percentage: 1,0
Credit Posting: 0,01 Percentage: 1,0
Also I populate in the account master data the field Tolerance group with XXX.
Then I used the transaction for automatic clearing F.13 and when I run this transaction I have two document with amount 100,01 and -100 and there is a difference of 0,01.
I'd like to avoid to have this difference and apply a rounding. How it is possible? The spro transaction seems to be used to accept this rounding and not to delete it during the clearing.
Thanks a lot,
Emanuela

Hi,
SAP is not "deleting" the difference during clearing (as you wrote in your last sentence).
Using the function you've mentioned you can define tolerance limits for minor differences to trigger an automatic posting to predefined GL accounts during clearing.
The difference is real, it can't disappear / rounded off.
Best regards, Christian

Tolerance Groups for G/L Accounts - How to configure

Hi all,
I've got a few basic questions on this topic, hope you can help!
1.
I have created an entry in the transaction "Define tolerance groups for G/L accounts". For this entry I have filled in the company code and tolerance values, but I haven't filled in the tolerance group. Will this tolerance then be applied to all G/L accounts?
2.
What happens if I do allow differences for G/L clearing (through tolerance group) but don't create any accounts for clearing differences?
Kind regards,
SV

1.I have created an entry in the transaction "Define tolerance groups for G/L accounts". For this entry I have filled in the company code and tolerance values, but I haven't filled in the tolerance group. Will this tolerance then be applied to all G/L accounts?
If for a specific company code if you keep this as empty - that group apply to all
in case if you define a group and if you give that in the GL Master then talerance limits applicable to that gl.
2.
What happens if I do allow differences for G/L clearing (through tolerance group) but don't create any accounts for clearing differences?
If any difference you are trying to post for clearing particular gl system not finds any gl and gives you the error to do assigne the gl in that

How to define Tolerance group

Requirement is at the time of delivery user wants some deviation from the mentioned quantity in Sales order. I think this can be done by maintaining Tolerance group which will be active at the time of Shipping.
Kindly explain the complete config of this Tolerance group.
thanks
anya

you define tolerance groups that group together tolerance limits for creating new open items.
For that Goto OVD6 and OVD4, manintain the required settings.
You define the absolute and/or percentage tolerance limits for your tolerance group in the application itself, under Settings -> Maintain tolerances. You assign your tolerance group to your sold-to party in the application under Settings -> EDI partner for user.
To define a new tolerance group, proceed as follows:
1. Choose New Entries.
2. Enter a reference and a name for the tolerance group.
3. Choose Save.
Further notes
You can create a tolerance group with a blank key, so that this group is used as a default whenever the Tolerance group field is left blank in the Inbound customer parameters (Settings -> Inbound customer parameters). In this way, a tolerance check is always carried out, even if no tolerance limit is entered.
Hope it is useful...

F-28 : the difference is not controlled with Tolerance Group !

Hi,
I'm posting an incoming payment = 1000 $ against an invoice = 1200 $ with Tcode F-28
then i enter the difference of 200 $ in Residual items table and i enter the reason code.
when i save the system accept despite that the maximum difference tolerated in my tolerance group is 50 $ ??!
i have done the following configurations in SPRO :
1- Define Tolerance Groups for Employees : for permetted payment differences i entered 50 $ for Revenue and Expense
2- Assign User/Tolerance Groups
3- Define Tolerances (Customers) : for permetted payment differences i entered 50 $ for Gain and Loss
4- i created a Reason code, and i assigned it to the appropriate account
5- in the Customer master data (XD02) i entered Tolerance Groups
Please did i foreget some other configuration, because i have a difference for more than 50 $ to clear, and the system accept ?! it must display an error message saying that the difference is too large for clearing.
Please advise
Regards.

Hi
You mentioned that you created a Reason Code and assigned it to the appropriate account.
This means that you had assigned Reason Code and G/L Account in OBXL--->Define Accounts for payment differences.
The difference of 200$ is being sent to Small Balance Write Off account ie the appropriate GL Account you had mentioned. ie y the system is accepting the payment of 1000$.
If you want the system to display an error message saying that the difference is too large for clearing , Go to OBXL and remove that assignment.
This will solve your problem

Tolerance group question

While doing my GL posting, I cannot go to the next screen because of the following error message. " No amount tolerance range for company code". I have assigned my company code to max.tolerance limits for documents and line items for employees to enter. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.
No amount tolerance range entered for company code
Message no. F5103
Diagnosis
No tolerance group is specified in company code
In a tolerance group you define the upper limit for a posting.
Procedure
If you have entered the correct company code, ensure that at least one tolerance group is created for this company code and that it is also assigned to the company code. You do this in Customizing for Financial Accounting under Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Document -> Line Item -> Define Tolerance Groups for Employees.
Edited by: Taz75 on Mar 19, 2009 8:32 AM

Hi,
Goto OBA4 - FI Tolerance Group for users.
This has to be filled without fail else postings would not happen.
Goto new entries and fill in the following details.
Group : Blank
Company Code: Your Company Code
Currency :INR
Amount per Document : 99,999,999,999.00
Amount per open item account : 99999,999,999.00
Cash discount per line item : 10%
Save it.
Now try posting.. It will post now..

Tolerance Group Query

Hi Guys,
What is the use of the Tolerance groups for users?
The user wants to add a particular user to a tolerance group. How can we add them and what purpose does this tolerance group serve for the user?
Thanks in advance
Srik.

Hi Srik,
Tolerance group for users stops employee post amount beyond the authorized one.
Let's take an example.
You have 2 users. 1. FICOUSR 2. FICOCLK
You want FICOCLK to post amount maximum up to Rs. 10,00,000 and
You want FICOUSR to post amount maximum up to Rs. 50,00,000, so what will you do?
You will create two tolerance group for e.g USER and CLER with above limits using transaction OBA4.
Now once these groups are create then you will assign 1. FICOUSR to USER and 2. FICOCLK to FICOCLK.
So, these users will not be able to post amount beyond amount defined in tolerance group in OBA4.
Hope this helps.........
Regards,
Chintan Joshi.

Tolerance Groups - Users who have left

Hi, we use tolerance groups, particularly around finance roles. When users leave we obviously delete their SAP user accounts. However we have not been removing their user ID from table OB57 "Assign Users > Tolerance Groups". I am not sure why this has not been done, but am planning on cleaning up this table. Is there any reasons once a user account has been deleted, why the entry should remain in this table?
Any advise gratefully received.
Wendy

Milind
Thanks for replying.
This was purely about table OB57 where you assign the employee to the tolerance group. We have deleted the SAP User account for a number of leavers, but they are still in the table, as they are added in separately to the account creation.
I just want to check if I am ok to remove employees from this table once accounts have been deleted.
Does that make sense?
Wendy
