Tolerance Limits in SAP

Dear All,
How to set the under and over delivery tolerances for MIGO.
When we create the GR wrt to PO how w can set the tolerance limits for stock and non-stock and free text items.
Please advise

Adding to replies,
In P.O item level,You can set under delivery or Over delivery tolerance % manually,based on it you can do Goods receipt.
By default you can set under & over delivery tolerance value in info record also.
For example:
For stock items, for example
If you do p.o for 100 nos,and you define under delivery tolerance of 5%,you can do goods receipt for 95 nos,
automatically p.o is closed(Delivery completed indicator is ticked)
Similarly for over delivery tolerance of 5%,you can do goods receipt for 105 nos.

tolerance limits for price variancesin Purchase order
When processing a purchase order, the system checks whether the effective price of a PO item shows variances compared with the valuation price stored in the material master record. In addition, it checks whether the specified cash discount value is admissible.
Variances are allowed within the framework of tolerance limits. If a variance exceeds a tolerance limit, the system issues a warning or error message.
In the SAP System, the types of variance are represented by the tolerance keys. For each tolerance key, you can define percentage and value-dependent upper and lower limits per company code.
Standard settings
The standard SAP System supplied contains the following tolerance keys:
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.
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.
Note
You can specify whether the system message appears as a warning or error message using the menu options Environment -> Define Attributes of System Messages.
For Invoices specify the tolerance limits for each tolerance key for each company code.
When processing an invoice, the R/3 System checks each item for variances between the invoice and the purchase order or goods receipt. The different types of variances are defined in tolerance keys.
The system uses the following tolerance keys to check for variances:
AN: Amount for item without order reference
If you activate the item amount check, the system checks every line item in an invoice with no order reference against the absolute upper limit defined.
AP: Amount for item with order reference
If you activate the item amount check, the system checks specific line items in an invoice with order reference against the absolute upper limit defined. Which invoice items are checked depends on how you configure the item amount check.
BD: Form small differences automatically
The system checks the balance of the invoice against the absolute upper limit defined. If the upper limit is not exceeded, the system automatically creates a posting line called Expense/Income from Small Differences, making the balance zero and allowing the system to post the document.
BR: Percentage OPUn variance (IR before GR)
The system calculates the percentage variance between the following ratios: quantity invoiced in order price quantity units : quantity invoiced in order units and quantity ordered in order price quantity units : quantity ordered in order units. The system compares the variance with the upper and lower percentage tolerance limits.
BW: Percentage OPUn variance (GR before IR)
The system calculates the percentage variance between the following ratios: quantity invoiced in order price quantity units: quantity invoiced in order units and goods receipt quantity in order price quantity units : goods receipt quantity in order units. The system compares the variance with the upper and lower percentage limits defined.
DQ: Exceed amount: quantity variance
If a goods receipt has been defined for an order item and a goods receipt has already been posted, the system multiplies the net order price by (quantity invoiced - (total quantity delivered - total quantity invoiced)).
If no goods receipt has been defined, the system multiplies the net order price by (quantity invoiced - (quantity ordered - total quantity invoiced)).
The system compares the outcome with the absolute upper and lower limits defined.
This allows relatively high quantity variances for invoice items for small amounts, but only small quantity variances for invoice items for larger amounts.
You can also configure percentage limits for the quantity variance check. In this case, the system calculates the percentage variance from the expected quantity, irrespective of the order price, and compares the outcome with the percentage limits configured.
The system also carries out a quantity variance check for planned delivery costs.
DW: Quantity variance when GR quantity = zero
If a goods receipt is defined for an order item but none has as yet been posted, the system multiplies the net order price by (quantity invoiced + total quantity invoiced so far).
The system then compares the outcome with the absolute upper tolerance limit defined.
If you have not maintained tolerance key DW for your company code, the system blocks an invoice for which no goods receipt has been posted yet. If you want to prevent this block, then set the tolerance limits for your company code for tolerance key DW to Do not check.
KW: Variance from condition value
The system calculates the amount by which each delivery costs item varies from the product of quantity invoiced * planned delivery costs/ planned quantity. It compares the variance with the upper and lower limits defined (absolute limits and percentage limits).
LA: Amount of blanket purchase order
The system calculates the sum of the value invoiced so far for the order item and the value of the current invoice and compares it with the value limit of the purchase order. It then compares the difference with the upper percentage and absolute tolerances defined.
LD: Blanket purchase order time limit exceeded
The system determines the number of days by which the invoice is outside the planned time interval. If the posting date of the invoice is before the validity period, the system calculates the number of days between the posting date and the start of the validity period. If the posting date of the invoice is after the validity period, the system calculates the number of days between the posting date and the end of the validity period. The system compares the number of days with the with the absolute upper limit defined.
PP: Price variance
The system determines by how much each invoice item varies from the product of quantity invoiced * order price. It then compares the variance with the upper and lower limits defined (absolute limits and percentage limits).
When posting a subsequent debit/credit, the system first checks if a price check has been defined for subsequent debits/credits. If so, the system calculates the difference between (value of subsequent debit/credit + value invoiced so far) / quantity invoiced so far * quantity to be debited/credited and the product of the quantity to be debited/credited * order price and compares this with the upper and lower tolerance limits (absolute limits and percentage limits).
PS: Price variance: estimated price
If the price in an order item is marked as an estimated price, for this item, the system calculates the difference between the invoice value and the product of quantity invoiced * order price and compares the variance with the upper and lower tolerance limits defined (absolute limits and percentage limits).
When posting a subsequent debit/credit, the system first checks whether a price check has been defined for subsequent debits/credits, If so, the system calculates the difference between (value of subsequent debit/credit + value invoiced so far) / quantity invoiced so far * quantity to be debited/credited and the product quantity to be debited/credited * order price. It then compares the variance with the upper and lower tolerance limits defined (absolute limits and percentage limits).
ST: Date variance (value x days)
The system calculates for each item the product of amount * (scheduled delivery date - date invoice entered) and compares this product with the absolute upper limit defined. This allows relatively high schedule variances for invoice items for small amounts, but only small schedule variances for invoice items for large amounts.
VP: Moving average price variance
When a stock posting line is created as a result of an invoice item, the system calculates the new moving average price that results from the posting. It compares the percentage variance of the new moving average price to the old price using the percentage tolerance limits defined.
Variances are allowed within predefined tolerance limits. If a variance exceeds a tolerance limit, however, the system issues a message informing the user. If an upper limit (except with BD and VP) is exceeded, the invoice is blocked for payment when you post it. You must then release the invoice in a separate step. If the tolerance limit for BD is breached, the system cannot post the invoice.
Note that if you set all limits for a tolerance key to Do not check, the system does not check that tolerance limit. Therefore any variance would be accepted. This does not make sense particularly in the case of the tolerance key Form small differences automatically.
Thanks & Regards

Tolerance Limits in Purchase requisitions

Hello all,
I have the following requirement to set up Tolerance Limits for Purchase requisitions for our client
1. if PR value < 5000
>> Maximum Tolerance is EUR 50
eg. PR value 4000 = EUR 50 tolerance limit allowed (>1%)
2. If PR value is 5000 - 50 000
>> Maximum Tolerance limit is 1% of the PR value
e.g.: PR Value 40,000 = EUR 400 tolerance limit allowed (1% OR EUR 500 which ever lowest applicable)
3. If PR value is > 50 000
>> Maximum Tolerance limit is EUR 500
e.g. PR value 60 000 = EUR 500 tolerance limit allowed (1% OR EUR 500 which ever lowest applicable)
I understand i can have either point 1 and 2. Or point 2 and 3.
Is it possible to take care of all the 3 points. If so how do i do it.
Also I have a question
Provision for Tolerance Limit for Purchase is there in SAP R/3 4.7
But I could not find the same node in ECC5.0 and Ecc 6.0
Any reason why it isnt there
My client uses 4.7 and is planning to update to Ecc 6.0 soon.

Purchase Order History Tolerance Limits

Good Morning,
I am hoping someone can clarify this for me. Within MM_EKKO archiving object a reason why you can not archive is "The last purchase order history transaction for an item is outside the tolerance limit". When SAP says Tolerance Limits for this item what are they referring to? Is it Residence Time or is it the C MM-PUR Reorg. Sched. Agrmnt Extra configuration?
Our current settings are as follows:
Residence Time = 2500 days
C MM-PUR Reorg. Sched. Agrmnt Extra = Validty Period is expired for more than day. No other settings are active.
Thanks in advance.

GR for movement type '101'. IR via tcode MIRO.IR happens first before GR only in case where friegth charges are paid to a third party.

Set Tolerance Limits for Price Variance when PO-based Purch.Requisition

We must garanty that Price from Purch.Requisition will be the same at PO.
IF some variance occur a error messag must be sent to user and PO could not be saved.
I found at customzing under SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purch.requisition > Set Tolerance Limits for Price Variance .
Reading the help of customizing it mean the system consists what we need..
I have created tolerance limit NB, and set limits for all checks as 0,01.
When I will activate messages as recommended on help no messages 601 and 602 have the text that guide us to correctly setting.
The help mention that after create tolerance limit we must set this tolerance by document type..but I didnt find this field at customzing
Does anyone can help me ?
See the help on customizing below
Set Tolerance Limits for Price Variance
In this step, you can define percentage-based and value-based (absolute) tolerance limits for price variances between purchase orders and purchase requisitions. Variance types are mapped out in the SAP system by tolerance keys.
You define the tolerance limits for each tolerance key and assign your tolerance key to the document types for purchase requisitions. The tolerance limit then applies for all documents of this document type.
When processing a purchase order, the system checks whether the unit price of a purchase order item differs from the unit price of a purchase requisition item. If you have configured, activated and defined tolerance limits in document types, variances are permitted in the tolerance limits. If the variance exceeds the tolerance limit, the system issues a warning. If you have defined a percentage-based and a value-based absolute tolerance limit, the strictest of the two variances will apply for this check.
Note
You can determine whether the system messages (601 and 602) appear as warnings or error messages in step "Define Attributes of System Messages".
To do this, go to the Materials Management IMG and choose Purchasing -> Environment Data -> Define Attributes of System Messages.
Requirements
The tolerance key must be defined in step Define Tolerance Key.
Activities
1. Define tolerance limits for each tolerance key.
2. Define the tolerance key in step Define Document Types.

Triggering of price block for lower tolerance limits

Hi.....
I have defined tolerances for invoice verification using tolerance key PP (path: spro --> Material Management --> Logistics Invoice Verification --> Invoice Block --> Set Tolerance Limits). Our system is correctly blocking invoices when it comes to upper limits. However, when I post an invoice outside the lower limits, system is giving me a warning but it is not blocking the invoice. It simple posts the invoice despite the difference.
Where in customizing can you define that exceeding lower limits, also should lead to a block?
Kind regards
Jacob

Hi Jacob,
in SAP standard the Invoice is only blocked if it is above the upper limit. If it is below the lower limit it will only issue a warning message:
In SAP Library: MM-Invoice with Variances-Tolerances you will also find the following explanation:
".. If the variance is outside the tolerance limit, the system displays this in a warning message. If you do not adjust your entries, you can still post the invoice. If, however, the upper tolerance limit is exceeded, the system automatically blocks the invoice for payment."
Usually you can be fine with the lower payments, it is the Vendor who should be afraid but If you anyway need to have that block I think the only way is to develop.
Let me know if useful.
cheers, MM

Set up Tolerance Limits with Date and quantity for GR

Hi Experts,
We would like to set the GR Tolerance Limits with Date and qty.
how to set the Tolerance Limits for Date and quantity..??
if we created PO 100qty and date 01-05-009.
if we receive the goods on 20-04-2009 and 50qty...
For GR .. Migo should be give error message..
where can i set this Tolerance Limit Configuration.... can u please explin me..
Thanks in Advance,
Anthyodaya .

hi,
You can do one thing...
Activate the SLED check...
BY this when the date goes earlier or late from the expected date, then system show you the messages like:
1. Earliest delivery date is DD.MM.YY..
2. Expected delivery date was DD.MM.YY...
In std sap system, the second message is already error message...so when get late delivery then it'll not be possible to maintain the GR...
For the qty varinace, activate the quantity variance either via over/under delievery tolerances..or
Via SPRO settings...
SPRO >> MM >> LIV >> Invoice block >> check for qty tolerances and make the settings as per your requirement...

Ignore Tolerance limits for Subsequent docs.

Dear All,
Is there any possibility exists to avoid PP tolerance key check ignore for only in case of SUBSEQUENT DEBIT/CREDIT.
The tolerance limits sets in PP working fine for INVOICE, but this check i dont want to be considered in case of SUBSEQUENT documents. SUBSEQUENT DEBIT can be done any amount without restricting the limits for PO or tolerances.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Syed Hussain.

Hi,
I would try this:
1. Configure alternative vendor tolerance limit for my company code.
2. Impelment badi: MRM_TOLERANCE_GROUP. Here, according to SAP documentation, you can change vendor tolerance key during invoice entry based on your on logic.
For the documentation of this badi go to IMG help for: 'IMG -> Materials Management -> Logistics Invoice Verification -> Maintain Customer Exits and Business Add-Ins -> Maintain Business Add-Ins for Invoice Verification' and then for badi MRM_TOLERANCE_GROUP.
Hope, it helps.

Tolerance limits on PO

Dear All,
I need to place tolerance limits on PO quantity. e.g 5 percent of the PO quantity is allowed to GRN.
how can i do that,
Thanks

Hi
The SPRO setting under Inventory Management > Good Receipt > Set tolerance key
this is at company code level. if you set this, then each and every MIGO will pass through the limit
this may have an impact on inventory inflation if MIGO is on higher side, especiallyfor A class items.
Better to set tolerence key at various level mentioned by one of Gurus so that only the particular combination will pass through the tolerance Limit. and on the other hand you will controlled inventory.
in spite of this client insist at Company code level then proceed with SPRO setting
Also check the message setting if you want to give Error message if it is exceeding the tolerence Limit.

Hi,
By using Purchasing Value Key in Material Master you can control over and under deliveries.But its applicable to that material.
If Purchasing Info Record exists for that material then tolerance limit which is given in inforecord takes priority.

2. What is number ranges ? How to create number ranges ?

Hi,
IN PO tollerence limit:
When processing a purchase order, the system checks whether the effective price of a PO item shows variances compared with the valuation price stored in the material master record. In addition, it checks whether the specified cash discount value is admissible.
Variances are allowed within the framework of tolerance limits. If a variance exceeds a tolerance limit, the system issues a warning or error message.
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.
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.
MIRO Tolerence limit: OMR6
When processing an invoice, the R/3 System checks each item for variances between the invoice and the purchase order or goods receipt. The different types of variances are defined in tolerance keys.
