Set Tolerance
Limits
In this step, you 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.
The following variances are checked in
Inventory Management:
- purchase order price quantity
For this variance,
two tolerance keys are provided:
- Tolerance key B1 (error message)
You use tolerance
key B1 to define the maximum percentage variance. If the variance is greater
than the maximum variance, the system creates an error message. The user
cannot post the goods receipt.
- Tolerance key B2 (warning message)
Tolerance key B2
defines the percentage variance from which a warning message is to be issued.
It is possible to post the goods receipt.
- Variance for the moving average price of the
material
You use tolerance
key VP to define the percentage variance from which a warning message is
issued. This warning message indicates a price change.
Default
settings
In the standard system, the tolerance keys for
goods receipts for purchase orders are defined with the following tolerance
limits in company code 0001:
- order price quantity variance with error
message): 50 %
- B2 (order price quantity variance with
warning): 20 %
- VP (variance from moving average price)
25 %
Actions
For each tolerance key, maintain the tolerance
limits in your company code.
