what is the use of "set tolerance limits" in goods receipt?

B1--Order price qty variance---(lower&upper)50%

B2--Order price qty variance---(lower&upper)20%

i created po with 20 kg

after that i am not able to post the gr with 25kg

PU Ordered quantity exceeded by 5 PC ---error message

(tolerances working fine in po and info record)

how to control the gr by using "set tolerance limits" in customizing?

plz. suggest me

you are mixing delivery tolerances (considered  during GR ) with  tolerances for invoice verification (considered during MIRO)

If you want control the GR  tolerances via customizing, then you have to customize a purchasing value key, and this one is then entered in a material master, from there it defaults to new info records and from there to the PO, and then it is considered in a GR.

Please search the forum, there are 64 discussions if you use search term:  B1 tolerance
