Tolerances can be set up for use in the processing of matching purchase order lines to purchase invoice lines. They can be applied to help match lines which are not identical, but are within the tolerances defined. There are three types of tolerance as explained in the examples below:
Quantity Percentage Tolerance
Quantity Percentage Tolerance set = 10
Purchase order quantity = 100
Therefore, the acceptable range = 90 - 110
If the purchase invoice is raised for a quantity of 95 or 105, the order and invoice are matched.
If the purchase invoice is raised for a quantity of 80 or 120, the order and invoice are not matched.
Value Percentage Tolerance
Value Percentage Tolerance set = 10
Purchase order value = 100
Therefore, the acceptable range = 90 - 110
If the purchase invoice is raised for a value of 95 or 105, the order and invoice are matched.
If the purchase invoice is raised for a value of 80 or 120, the order and invoice are not matched.
Absolute Value Tolerance
Value Tolerance set = 30
Purchase order value = 200
Therefore, the acceptable range = 170 - 230
If the purchase invoice is raised for a value of 180 or 220, the order and invoice are matched.
If the purchase invoice is raised for a value of 150 or 260, the order and invoice are not matched.
Note: If Value Percentage Tolerance or Absolute Value Tolerance are to be used, a value must be defined in the Purchase Type Setup in the Match Value field. See the section Defining Values for the Purchase Type in this topic.
