  The SAP error message FR074, which states "Display tolerance was changed; update preliminary lists," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with invoice verification or payment processing.

  Check Tolerance Settings: Review the tolerance settings in the configuration (transaction code OMR6 for invoice verification tolerances) to ensure they are set correctly according to your business requirements.
  Reprocess Transactions: If there are specific transactions that are causing the error, you may need to reprocess them after updating the preliminary lists.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed steps on how to update preliminary lists and manage tolerance settings.
