• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M7029 - Order price quantity exceeded by more than & % ?

  The SAP error message M7029 "Order price quantity exceeded by more than & %" typically occurs in the context of inventory management or purchasing when the quantity or price of a goods movement exceeds the expected limits set in the system. This can happen during various transactions, such as goods receipts, invoice verification, or order processing.
  Cause:
  
  Quantity Exceeding Limits: The quantity of goods being processed exceeds the allowed limit defined in the system settings or the purchase order.
  Price Variance: The price of the goods being received or invoiced is significantly higher than what was agreed upon in the purchase order or contract.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have been configured with strict tolerance limits for price and quantity variances, leading to this error when those limits are exceeded.

  Adjust Tolerance Limits: If the current tolerance settings are too strict for your business needs, consider adjusting them in the configuration settings. This can be done by a system administrator or someone with the appropriate authorization.
  Correct Data Entry: If the error is due to incorrect data entry, correct the quantities or prices in the relevant documents and try the transaction again.
  Consult with Procurement: If there are discrepancies that cannot be resolved, consult with the procurement department to clarify the terms of the order and ensure that all parties are aligned.
