Example: Total-Based Acceptance 

You want to post an invoice. The vendor-dependant tolerances are set in the Implementation Guide (IMG) in Logistics Invoice Verification for each company code and tolerance group. The tolerance group is assigned to the invoicing party in the vendor master record.

Set the tolerance check for either total-based acceptance or total-based invoice reduction. In the example the following limits are checked:

Total-based acceptance of negative differences

Total-based acceptance of positive differences

Total-based invoice reduction

Defined Tolerance Limits
