Tolerance rules-Purchasing setup

Hi all
I am looking for some advice on revising the setup of our tolerance rules in Purchasing. Our current setup is causing many problems, as it is too tight, especially on Extended Amount. As a result A/P cannot process many invoices as they exceed the tolerances

I would be interested to know what others companies are using for their tolerance setups on the Purchasing Sytem Setup menu (G43A41)?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Brian,

Before defining a solution you need to consider:
* What you are trying to achieve with the tolerance rules. Is it a control point? Is it to prevent error in the A/P dept?
* What is the reason that so many vouchers differ from the PO and thus invoke the rule? Are the PO's not accurate in terms of quantity or pricing? Maybe you are in an industry where the PO and goods / services received do not easily match.
* What is the typical amount / quantity exceeded? Is it just a small amount or are the invoices and POs wildly different?
* Are you looking to generate a hard error or a warning?

If you can define your requirements regarding the process and what you are looking for the tolerance rules to support, a more suitable solution may be offered.

Regards,

Adrian
