The system offers two different threshold value checks for calculating the variances between the comparison price (the periodic unit price or the standard price) and the recalculated price. The methods check the values independently of each other in all set currencies. If a threshold value is exceeded in one currency, the system issues a warning or error message.

A warning or error message is issued for materials with a threshold value excess in one of the two checks.

During material price determination, threshold value checks are performed according to two methods.

Multilevel Variances: The system checks whether the total of all multilevel price differences for the quantity of the material procured on a multilevel basis equals a price that varies in percent from the comparison price by more than the threshold value.

Variances of the new periodic unit price: The system checks whether the recalculated material price varies in percent from the comparison price by more than the threshold value.
