• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /LIME/PI_CORE124 - Document &1 &2, item &3 cannot be posted due to exceeded tolerances ?

  The SAP error message /LIME/PI_CORE124 Document &1 &2, item &3 cannot be posted due to exceeded tolerances typically occurs in the context of the SAP Logistics Invoice Verification (LIV) process. This error indicates that the system has detected a discrepancy between the invoice and the purchase order or goods receipt that exceeds the defined tolerances.
  Cause:
  
  
  Tolerance Limits Exceeded: The most common cause of this error is that the difference between the invoice amount and the expected amount (from the purchase order or goods receipt) exceeds the tolerance limits set in the system. This can happen due to:
  
  Price differences (e.g., the invoiced price is higher than the agreed price).
  Quantity differences (e.g., the quantity invoiced is greater than the quantity received).
  Other discrepancies related to taxes, discounts, or additional charges.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The tolerance limits for price and quantity differences may not be configured correctly in the system, leading to stricter checks than intended.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review the Invoice and Purchase Order: Check the details of the invoice and the corresponding purchase order or goods receipt. Look for discrepancies in price, quantity, or other relevant fields.
  
  
  Adjust Tolerance Settings: If the discrepancies are valid and should be allowed, consider adjusting the tolerance settings in the configuration:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for invoice verification in SAP (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Go to Materials Management > Invoice Verification > Define Tolerances for Invoice Verification.
  Adjust the settings for price and quantity tolerances as necessary.
  
  
  
  Manual Adjustment: If the discrepancy is minor and acceptable, you may also consider manually adjusting the invoice or the purchase order to align the amounts.
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders: If the discrepancy is due to a business process issue (e.g., pricing errors, incorrect quantities), consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., procurement, finance) to resolve the underlying issue.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like MIRO (for invoice verification) to reprocess the invoice after making necessary adjustments.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on invoice verification and tolerance settings for a deeper understanding of how to manage these discrepancies.
