Tolerance

Use Tolerance Checking to trigger Actions when the Quantity, Unit Cost or the Extended Cost on a PO Receipt, or on an AP Invoice receipt line, differs from the original by a pre-configured percentage and/or amount (the boundary condition).

The pre-selected Actions can be Warnings (the User can continue or cancel the transaction) or Errors (the transaction is cancelled) when the boundary conditions are breached, or even No Action (to look at a single factor, for example Unit Cost, then set No Action for the other factor).

Automatic Approvals

For AP Invoices that have receipt lines, you can select an Approval action. Here, if the tolerance checking passes, the approval is automatically passed.

Configuring Tolerance Settings

See how to set up multiple rules and assignments in Tolerance Codes, and how to assign these to a company, with Tolerance Priority Levels in the Tolerance Settings page topic, which also describes what happens during tolerance checking.
