Setting Up Tolerance Validation for PO Quantity

You can configure validation tolerances for purchase order (PO) quantity. This allows suppliers to create invoices with quantities that exceed the ordered quantities on the corresponding POs.

Here's what you do to configure tolerance for quantity:

1. Navigate to My Enterprise > Setup and Maintenance > Offering: Financials > Functional Area: Payables and select the Manage Invoice Options task.
2. In the Self-Service Invoices section, select one or both of these check boxes:
   • Allow overbilled quantity for quantity-based matches
   • Allow overbilling for amount-based matches
3. Save the configuration.

Based on the configuration, the application allows creating invoices in the Supplier Portal with amount greater than the PO amount, quantity greater than the ordered quantity, or both.

Note: The tolerances for quantity and amount are defined in the Matching section of the Manage Invoice Options page. Entering a greater amount or quantity must still follow the defined tolerances. If the invoice exceeds the tolerance threshold, a hold is placed on it during the invoice validation process.
