Documentation
Definition
Indicator that controls whether a check against an absolute tolerance limit for positive invoice differences is carried out in the Incoming Invoice application in the SAP Retail Store.
Use
In addition to the usual tolerance checks for Logistics Invoice Verification ( vendor-specific tolerances and tolerance limits at item level), invoice entry in the SAP Retail Store provides an additional check, which can prevent excessive invoices (positive invoice difference) being posted, including release to Accounting. A tolerance limit also means that in the case of small differences in the total amount, employees in the store do not have to check and, if necessary, adjust all the item data in what can sometimes be very large invoices.
If the indicator is set, a check is carried out to see whether the balance from the entered invoice gross amount and the expected invoice gross amount, that is the result of adding the net and tax amounts of the items on the basis of the system data (invoice quantity, conditions from the purchase order), exceeds the absolute tolerance limit. If the balance is less than the tolerance limit, the invoice is posted normally even if this means that differences have to exist between the actual invoice and the system data for the items. If the tolerance limit is exceeded, the invoice cannot be posted and released to Accounting. If this is the case, you have to enter the deviations for the items explicitly.
Dependencies
For an invoice with differences within the tolerance limit described here to be posted, you must make sure that the vendor-specific tolerance limit also permits this.
Example
The following simplified example illustrates the tolerance check in the SAP Retail Store in connection with the usual tolerance checks in Logistics Invoice Verification.
The invoice contains 10 items for 10 materials. The purchase order and invoice quanities are both 1, the PO price and therefore also the PO value are 10 monetary units (MU). There is a tax flag with 10% VAT for each item, which makes a tax amount of 1 MU. The expected gross invoice amount is therefore 110 MU.
The absolute tolerance limit for positive invoice deviations described here is 5 MU. If the invoice amount is less than 115 MU (but greater than the value that is possibly defined for the lower tolerance limit), the invoice is posted and the data from the purchase order is adopted for the invoice items. Note that large deviations at item level between the actual invoice and the PO data that would violate an item-related tolerance limit, but that cancel each other out within the tolerance value, are not entered in this procedure. Furthermore, a prerequisite for normal posting is that the value of the tolerance limit is from 5 MU less than the vendor-dependent (absolute and/or percentage) tolerance limit.
If the invoice amount is greater than 115 MU, the invoice cannot be posted to Accounting and released. In this case, you also need to enter the data from the actual invoice for the items so that an invoice is entered for which the balance is zero. Regarding deviations at item level, you should note the following when taking item-related tolerance limits into consideration. Assume that the invoice amount is 116 MU, the item-related positive tolerance limit is 1 MU absolute and 7% as a percentage, making 0.70 MU here. If the deviation only concerns the first item - the invoice amount is therefore 16 MU - posting would be prevented by the item-related tolerance value. If the total deviation amount happened to be evenly distributed amongst all items, making 11.60 MU, the invoice would be able to be posted to Accounting as the item-related tolerance values have not been exceeded and the balance is zero. This is prevented by the additional tolerance value in the SAP Retail Store application, which also serves as a lock for the cumulation of small deviations.
