Documentation
Definition
Indicates whether or not a variance message is involved.
Use
Valid values are:
- 'X' = Variance message
- ' ' = No variance message
When checking IDoc data relating to a vendor confirmation of the category order acknowledgment, the system takes into account the user-definable tolerances from Customizing for Purchasing as well as the tolerances for over- and underdelivery. These tolerances can relate to the delivery date/time, the net price, and the PO quantity. If these tolerances are exceeded, the system transfers a variance message into the status of the IDoc. Any other messages (for example, the error message relating to a non-existent purchase order) are not variance messages.
Dependencies
Prerequisites for the issuance of variance messages are tolerances in the confirmation control facility of Customizing for Purchasing and tolerances for over- and underdelivery in the purchase order item.
