Tolerance Limit for Value Differences 

Use

You can use the tolerance level to set a percentage or absolute tolerated difference between the transmitted value and the open value. If the difference exceeds the tolerance limit, a new open item is created. The system compares the value transmitted with the value that is still open in the internal invoice for the delivery. You can set tolerance limits at delivery and/or item level (material.) If the tolerance limit is not violated, no new open item is created.

If you have not set a tolerance limit, or set up the system not to carry out a tolerance check, the system creates a new open item for every difference.

Features
