Hi,

Please note the following:

The system will check the lower tolerance limit but an invoice will

never be blocked if the LOWER limit is exceeded. The system will only

display a warning message. In the standard system invoices will only be

blocked if the UPPER limit is exceeded because normally one wants to

prevent to pay more than expected.

In SAP Library: MM-Invoice with Variances-Tolerances you will also

find the following explanation:

"

Variances are allowed within predefined tolerance limits. If a varianc

exceeds a tolerance limit, however, the system issues a message

informing the user. If an upper limit (except with BD and VP) is

exceeded, the invoice is blocked for payment when you post it. You mus

then release the invoice in a separate step. If the tolerance limit fo

BD is exceeded, the system cannot post the invoice."

The system will check the lower limit but an invoice will never

be blocked if the lower limit is exceeded. The system will only

display a warning message. In the standard system invoices will only b

blocked if the upper limit is exceeded because normally one

wants to prevent to pay more than expected.

In OMRM - you can change your warning message to error message.

Hope it helps you.

HI,

Go to path:

SPRO>IMG>MM>PURCHASING>ENVIRONMENT DATA>DEFINE ATTRIBUTE OF SYSTEM MESSAGES.

Now click on System messages.

Read the message text related to your query and change the Category field as "E".

Thanks.

Ultimately the vendor can charge what they want if under or your price may be incorrect (too high) so even if you could, not a good idea to set message to error.

That said, if you want to check if you can out of interest, note msg id and see IMG \ MM \ LIV \ Define attributes of system msgs and set to E
