Document Tolerances

Document tolerances are percentages or amounts by which related procurement documents (such as purchase orders and vouchers) are allowed to differ. The Document Tolerance Application Engine process (FS_DOC_TOL) enables you to set document tolerances between pre-encumbrances and encumbrances or encumbrances and expenses. If these tolerances aren't met, the system creates a document tolerance exception.

If the Commitment Control feature and document tolerance checking are enabled for the business unit, you must run both the Document Tolerance process and the Budget Processor process. You can initiate these processes by selecting the appropriate actions on the Invoice Information page and clicking the Run button.

If you run the Budget Processor process as a batch process using the Budget Check page, you must run the Document Tolerance process independently.
