Purchasing Tolerances Guide

Under and overdelivery tolerances in purchasing can be defined in different areas to control quantities delivered. Underdeliveries are seen as partial deliveries and are usually allowed if they do not exceed the defined tolerance. Overdeliveries are allowed if the total delivered quantity is within the defined tolerance percentage in the item's delivery tab or if unlimited overdelivery is specified. Tolerances can be defined in the material master, purchase order items, and info records to control warnings and errors for quantities outside the tolerated levels.

Purpose
This WIKI provides an overview on under and over-delivery tolerances in Purchasing, as they
can be defined in different purchasing processes.

Overview
Under and overdelivery tolerances functionality are defined to control percentages and quantities
delivered in the purchasing process. Those tolerances can be defined in different purchasing
scenarios: material master, info records and purchase orders.

Under and Over-deliveries


Under-deliveries are seen as partial deliveries in the process and are usually allowed, as they do
not exceed a defined quantity. In the purchase order item, a percentage can also be entered for
under-delivery tolerance. A warning message is not issued if the total of entered quantities is
within the amount defined for the underdelivered tolerance. If total entered is under the
tolerance, system should issue a warning message.

Over-delivery tolerances in a purchase order item is allowed if it is defined in the delivery tab of
the item, as well as Unlimited over-delivery. A message is not issued if the total of delivered
quantities lies within the over-delivery tolerance. If the total entered is over the tolerance, an
error message is raised.

In service purchase orders, over-fullfilment tolerances are similar to over-delivery tolerances for
standard items. If over-delivery percentage is defined in purchase order item, it is possible to
enter a larger quantity of services than the ordered quantity. When planned services are entered,
it is not allowed to exceed the ordered quantity if no over-delivery tolerances are entered in
purchase order. Message SE363 (Quantity entered $ exceeds quantity $ in purchase order) can
be set in this case .
