Vendor Tolerance

First Question:
We have tolerances for vendors. I read somewhere the foll tolerances are defined for vendors:
1. Quantity variance
2. Price variance
3. Purchase order price quantity variance
4. Date variance
Can someone please explain all four of them and what the tolerance does for all these.
Second Question:
We also have tolerance sfor permitted payment differences and residual items. I just want to clarify do these tolerances are referring to the employee, like the permitted payment differences for the employee when paying the vendor or clearing the payment????
Also if you can explain where does the tolerance related to permitted payment differences and residual items actually happens in SAP process wise?
Thank you in advance.

Hi
1. Quantity variance - TCODE :OMJ2 : If a physical inventory document exceeds this tolerance, the user is not allowed to post any inventory differences for this document.
2. Price variance & 3. Purchase order price quantity variance -- TCODE : OMC0 : set the tolerance limits for goods receipts.
When processing a goods receipt, the system checks each item to determine whether the goods receipt varies from the purchase order or the material master data.
The different types of variances are defined by tolerance keys. For each tolerance key, tolerance limits can be set per company code.
TCODE : OMR6 - Check the help given for this for more details
4. Date variance - no idea

Vendor Tolerance Group in automatic payment program F110

Hi Experts,
We use automatic payment program F110 for payment to vendors. We want to define different tolerance group having different grace days to vendors.
e.g. Vendor 1 having tolerance group with 5 days as grace period
Vendor 2 having tolerance group with 10 days as grace period
Is it possible to have different grace days for making payment through F110. We donot want to make manual payment.
Thanks & Regards.

OBA3 (Customer / Vendor Tolerance) and OBA4 (FI Tolerancde Group for User)

Hi Expert,
With reference to the subject of this post, could anyone can highlight to me the actual difference between these 2 tolerance settings?
I use OBA4 to set the payment different for cash discount and payment differences, and it works.
Therefore, I wonder what is the main functions for OBA3? Any inter-relation between this 2 tolerance settings?
Both settings also have the section of "Permitted payment difference"...
In OBA3, the help files says that ... "In this step, you specify the tolerances for vendors. These tolerances are used for dealing with differences in payment and residual items which can occur during payment settlement..."
Kindly advise.
Thanks and regards,
Sbmel

Thanks for the fast reply.
Therefore, technically to say that if I want to limit the cash discount given or received, from vendor/customer, I can just create "OBA4 setup user wise, and you assign this group to user" ... and from this settings, I just need to create:
Group: <Blank>
Company Code: My desired company code
Currency: company code currency (defaulted per company code)
Cash Discount per line item to: 0
and at the permitted payment difference section:
Revenue: Cash discount adj to: 0
Expense: Cash discount adj to: 0
Right?
Thanks

Currency on Customer / Vendor Tolerances

Hi Guru's,
I am trying to configure vendor-specific tolerances. However, I need this tolerance to be created in EURO which is not the currency for the company code it's just a parallel currency (hard currency).
When I create a new entry in config I am only able to enter the company code and it automatically picks up the company code currency. I do not have the option to change it to EURO.
The situation here is we have some inter company transactions that are processed in EURO. Currently we create a PO in company code 1111 in EURO, We are able to post a goods receipt and then create a delivery note. At the time of invoicing we are having some small differences between PO and Invoice. I was thinking this is something that vendor-specific tolerances can handle. But as I mentioned above i am stuck because i can not create that small differences in any other currency except in the currency listed as the local currency.
Can someone please help me.
Thanks

Hi Yasmeen,
I faced some cases where validation was done. But it was done by ABAPer in the end as it is more technical
THe best way, is to describe the requirement, send complete analysis with some tests/scenario in Quality system or dev (depends ) and they will have to do it
But for more info, may be this link can help
[Validation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/27/06e23954d9035de10000000a114084/content.htm]
And of corse in SDN there are a lot of info regarding validation
Hope this help

invoice posting..

MPL.

Hi Mahendra,
There is a Setting Present in the SPRO.
GO to the Path
SPRO..> MM> LIV> incomming invoice--> Set up tolerance linits for Vendor
The settings can be made at Company code level .know define a tolerance group for the same.
so after defining your Tolerance group.
KNow it is the time to activate it on the vendor master.
SO to the Vendor master record to which it ahs to be done and update the tolerance Group in the Payment transactions accounting ..
the updation for a bulk of vendors can be done by using the below
it can also be done in MASS using the t code MASS or XK99
object --> LFA1 and the TAble is LFB1.
Hope so it helps

EDI vendor Invoice - How to Park when outside PP tolerance and post when within PP tolerance

Hi,
I currently have Program parameters set in OMRY as "1" and have implemented SAP note : 501524 which enables invoice PARK. I also have PP tolerance set at 1.00 and 3%. Right now all the invoices that are not an exact match..i.e. whether within the PP tolerance limits above or outside the tolerance mentioned - are parked with unclarified errors. I then would have to further process the invoice manually to accept vendor values. If the invoice line is within PP limits it posts without a payment block. If the invoice line is outside the PP limit, it will give me an error that price is too high and will not let me post.
Now, I would like to keep the current behavior as is - except that I would want the situation with line item within tolerance limtits to post directly without parking or payment block, and only park when it is outside PP tolerance limits. I do not have any vendor tolerance settings in OMRX, or have assigned vendor specific tolerances to the vendor master..as I want the variances at line item level to be considered against PP limtis and make it impact inventory.. rather than have the vendor specific tolerances active where the total invoices values differences (not at the line item level) are assigned to a non-inventory GL account based on the positive and negative small difference settings. Hence vendor specific tolerances are useless for me as I want differences to be assigned by line to the inventory when within tolerance limits.
Please advise on what would be a good setting to accomplish the above goal. I have tried all different OMRY processing parameters (i.e. Blank, "1, 2,3,4) so far ...and nothing seem to be working so far. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello, Raj,
ad BD "Form small differences automatically"
-- if the the document ballance is within the limit, the difference is posted to transaction key DIF;
-- if the the document ballance out of the limit, you cannot post the invoice;
ad PP "Price variance"
-- if is is for stock material, wit avr. price and quantity on stocks, it revaluates the actual stocks, i.e. transaction key BSX;
-- if the material is with standard price, or there is no or not enough quantity on stocks, the difference is posted to transaction key PRD;
Hope you'll find it helpfull.
Kind Regards

Employee tolerance group&G/L acct tolerance group&Customer/Vendor toler.grp

Hi All,
Can anyone explain me in detail about employee tolerance group, G/L acct tolerance group and Customer/Vendor tolerance group?
what is the difference among them and do they have any linkages, like consistency, conflict etc.
Any responses will be awarded,
Regards,
Samson

Hi,
In accounting there are three types of tolerances: Employee tolerance groups, G/L
account tolerance groups, and customer/vendor tolerance groups.
The employee tolerance group is used to control:
1. Upper limits for posting transactions
2. Permitted payment differences
The G/L account tolerance group is used to control:
1. Permitted payment differences (for example, for automatic clearing procedures).
The customer/vendor tolerance groups provide specifications for:
1. Clearing transactions
2. Permitted payment differences
3. Posting residual items from payment differences
4. Tolerances for payment advice notes
The configuration for Tolerance group is:
Tolerance groups for employees, for example:
1. Accountant I
2. Accountant II
3. Accounting manager
Tolerance groups for customers/vendors, for example:
1. Good customers/vendors
2. Not so good customers/vendors
3. Cash only customers/vendors
Tolerance groups for G/L accounts, for example:
1. Clearing accounts (external procurement)
2. Clearing accounts (in-house production)

Jigar

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

Vendor payment thru F-53

Dear friends,
I have query regarding vendor payment i try to psot vendor payment its thrown error table T043G is missing pls give me soggetion how can i overcome this one.
Thanks and regards,
Nauma.

HI,
You can create Vendor Tolerances in two ways.
1. Vendor Tolerances without Group
2. Vendor Tolerances with Group.
1. Vendor Tolerances without Group - T Code: OBA3
Path: IMG/FA/AR&AP/Business Transactions/Outgoing payments/Manual Outgoing Payments/Define Tolerances(Vendors)
Here give your company code and all other necessary details.
Dont give Tolerance Group name on the field "Tolerance Group.
In this case we need not assign the Tolerance name in the vendor master data.
2. Vendor Tolerances with Group - T code: OBA3
Path: Same
Here we have to give Vendors Tolerance Group (Name) on the field "Tolerance Group".
In this case, we must assign the vendors tolerance group in the respecpective vendors master data
Path: FK02 ---> Company code data -
> Payment Transactons. Here we have separate field for Tolerance Group. Give your vendors Tolerance group and save the data
Hope this helps.

Accounts Payable Tolerance

Hi there. I wanted to know if it is possible to define a tolerance limit for accounts payable ? Pls let me know the steps involved

Hi AP,
Using Vendor Tolerance in Customization, you can define tolerance groups for each company code. You can assign these tolerance groups to each vendor in the vendor master record.
(a) Total-based acceptance
(b) Total-based invoice reduction
Above tolerance can be used at the time of Invoice Verification.

Removal of tolerance key

Hi Dear friends,
I have tolerance key set as R50 and 1% for the MIRO & name is PP and I also have vendor tolerance group R10, 000, 00.
When doing invoice it allows us to post but puts the whole difference to small write off/up's which is incorrect since it should go price difference.
Please suggest what is the best way to over come to this issue? Or shall I remove tolerance key?
Thanks in advance.
Suri.

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.
Tollerance group is having direct control over invoice..variation in vendor invoice amount can be permited..

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 in GR

Hi all!
When entering spro> Supplier Relationship Management>Cross-Application
Basic Settings> Set Tolerance Checks, we define tolerance 0% for GR.
We have an extended classic scenario, where the confirmation is done in
SRM and then GR is replicated to R3. After configuring this point,there
is no validation of the tolerance limits in SRM.
Could you please let us know how to solve this issue for being capable
to check the GR tolerance when we confirm a GR?
Thanks a lot and regards,
Ana

Hi,
This is for Invioce management system in SRM,
I hope same tolerance structure/methodology exits for GR in SRM.
This just for your information,
Note that the invoice is checked in accordance with the vendor tolerance limits in the case of the following exceptions: If these are exceeded, an error message is output.
· Price variance
This exception is triggered if you try to post an invoice that contains price variance that exceeds the tolerance limit. In the settings, you can define whether a notification e-mail is automatically sent in the case of a price variance, and to whom this e-mail is sent. You can stipulate that the invoice is posted automatically if the price variance is approved on account of the e-mail. Furthermore, you can define whether the e-mail contains a link to the SRM System.
· Quantity variance
This exception is triggered if you try to post an invoice that contains quantity variance that exceeds the tolerance limit. In the settings, you can define whether a notification e-mail is automatically sent in the case of a quantity variance, and to whom this e-mail is sent. You can stipulate that the invoice is posted automatically if the quantity variance is approved on account of the e-mail. Furthermore, you can define whether the e-mail contains a link to the SRM System.

3. Employee Tolerance group.
Have you created tolerance group for G/L account?

LIV for Purchase Orders with Account Assignment

Hi SAP Gurus,
I would like to get your expert advice on this...
I enabled total based invoice acceptance and reduction by performing the required configuration steps (define vendor tolerance group, set up the auto invoice reduction tolerance checks, assigned the tolerance group to the vendor). I was assuming that this would work for my purchase order which contains an account assignment. However, when I tested it out, instead of behaving as expected (create invoice and credit memo for the excess value), the system generated only 1 accounting document. The price variance was posted back to the account assignment assigned to the PO item.
Did I miss out on any steps? or is this the way SAP treats account assigned (non-stock) PO items (i.e. no invoice reduction occurs). If so, can you explain to me why?
Best regards,
RiVeR

Hi Delo,
Please find answers to your queries below in bold.
1. I was just wondering why would SAP allow such transaction/s to happen? Wouldn't it compromise the integrity of the whole document trail (PO account assignment is different from the LIV)? -
There could be some business scenarios in some organisations, where in Procurement team uses generic cost centre (header), which is specific to particular department or group, to procure. But at the time of Invoice Receipt, AP team knows exact cost centre or order, etc to post the amounts. To cover these kind of scenarios, SAP probably has provided the option to change acount assignment.
2. Is there a way to edit the Account Assignment for a Purchase Order line item even if that item has been fully received and invoiced? -
These field changes at various levels can be configured via t-code OME9.
a) IR Changeable - This field if selected will allow to change the account assignment of a purchase order item at the time of invoice receipt.
b) Acct. assg. changeable - This field is selected will allow to change account assignment for an item following goods receipt or invoice receipt.
Hope this clarifies your queries.
-Ravi
