Setting Up Tolerance Rules for Purchase Order Acknowledgement Change Approvals

Access the Purchasing Tolerance Rules Revisions form.

Function (Program)

Specify 4 to identify the tolerances used for acknowledgement.

Note: You might need to add the value 4 (Acknowledgement Tolerance) to UDC 43/FT.
Tolerance Percentage or Tolerance Amount

If a supplier changes an order line by a percentage or amount that exceeds the tolerance percentage or tolerance amount, the buyer must approve the change.

The system uses the absolute value to determine whether a change exceeds the tolerance. Therefore, a reduction in quantity or price can exceed tolerance just as an increase in quantity or price can.
