Tolerance Keys at Good Receipt Level in SAP

 GR Tolerance Keys

The following variances are checked in Inventory Management:
•Variance in the purchase order price quantity
(Explanation)For this variance, two tolerance keys are provided:

 

If an order price quantity that deviates from the quantity planned in the purchase order (conversion factor order unit - order price unit) is entered during goods receipt, the system checks whether the variance is within the tolerances defined here.

 

Goods receipt quantity in the purchase order price unit.

If a purchase order price unit that differs from the purchase order unit has been defined in the purchase order (for example, PO quantity in pc, PO price in kg), both the quantity in the purchase order unit and the purchase order price quantity must be specified at the time of goods receipt.

Tolerance key B1 (error message)
We use tolerance key B1 to define the maximum percentage variance. If the variance is greater than the maximum variance, the system creates an error message. The user cannot post the goods receipt.

Tolerance key B2 (warning message)
Tolerance key B2 defines the percentage variance from which a warning message is to be issued. It is possible to post the goods receipt.

Variance for the moving average price of the material

We use tolerance key VP to define the percentage variance from which a warning message is issued. This warning message indicates a price change.

 

If price control V moving average price is defined in the material master record, the price is automatically adjusted in the material master record when price variances occur. If goods movements are carried out with a price deviating from the moving average price, the differences are posted to the stock account. As a result, the moving average price and the value of the stock change.
