• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06233 - In the case of unlimited overdelivery, the tolerance is reset ?

  The SAP error message 06233, which states "In the case of unlimited overdelivery, the tolerance is reset," typically occurs in the context of procurement and inventory management when dealing with purchase orders and goods receipts. This message indicates that the system has detected an overdelivery situation that exceeds the defined tolerance limits for a purchase order item.
  Cause:
  
  Unlimited Overdelivery: The error arises when the quantity of goods received exceeds the ordered quantity without any predefined tolerance limits. In SAP, overdelivery tolerances can be set to allow a certain percentage or quantity of overdelivery, but if the received quantity surpasses this limit, the system will trigger this message.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the material master or purchasing info record may not allow for overdelivery, or the tolerance levels may not be configured correctly.
  Purchase Order Settings: The purchase order may have been created with specific tolerances that do not accommodate the received quantity.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Tolerance Settings: Review the tolerance settings for overdelivery in the material master or purchasing info record. You can adjust these settings to allow for a higher percentage of overdelivery if necessary.
  
  Navigate to the material master (MM02) and check the purchasing view for tolerance settings.
  Alternatively, check the purchasing info record (ME11/ME12) for the relevant vendor and material combination.
  
  
  
  Adjust Purchase Order: If the overdelivery is acceptable, you may need to adjust the purchase order to reflect the new quantities or to allow for the overdelivery.
  
  You can do this by changing the purchase order (ME22N) to accommodate the received quantity.
  
  
  
  Goods Receipt Processing: If the goods receipt has already been posted, you may need to reverse the goods receipt (MIGO) and reprocess it with the correct quantities or tolerances.
  
  
  Consult with Procurement Team: If you are unsure about the appropriate tolerance levels or how to handle the overdelivery, consult with your procurement or inventory management team to ensure compliance with company policies.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message. Sometimes, there may be known issues or enhancements that can resolve the problem.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation regarding overdelivery tolerances and how they are configured in the system.
  Training: Ensure that users involved in procurement and inventory management are trained on how to handle overdelivery situations and understand the implications of changing tolerance settings.
