• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M8084 - Price too low (below tolerance limit of & &) ?

  The SAP error message M8084, which states "Price too low (below tolerance limit of & &)," typically occurs during the processing of a purchase order or goods receipt when the price of an item is below the defined tolerance limit set in the system. This is a common issue in procurement processes where price controls are enforced to prevent the acceptance of items at prices that are considered too low, which could indicate a potential error or fraud.
  Cause:
  
  Price Tolerance Settings: The system has been configured with a price tolerance limit that the purchase price must meet or exceed. If the price of the item falls below this limit, the error is triggered.
  Incorrect Pricing: The price entered for the item may be incorrect or not updated in the system, leading to a price that is lower than expected.
  Vendor Agreement: The price may not align with the agreed-upon pricing in the vendor contract or purchasing info record.
  Currency Fluctuations: If the transaction involves multiple currencies, fluctuations in exchange rates may result in a price that falls below the tolerance limit.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Tolerance Limits: Check the tolerance limits set in the system. This can be done in the configuration settings under the purchasing module. If necessary, adjust the tolerance limits to accommodate the pricing structure.
  Verify Pricing: Ensure that the price entered for the item is correct. Cross-check with the vendor agreement or purchasing info record to confirm the expected price.
  Update Info Records: If the price is outdated, update the purchasing info record or vendor master data to reflect the correct pricing.
  Consult with Procurement: If the price is indeed correct but still triggers the error, consult with the procurement team to understand if there are any specific business rules or exceptions that need to be applied.
  Check Currency Settings: If applicable, verify the currency settings and ensure that the conversion rates are accurate and up to date.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like ME21N (Create Purchase Order), ME22N (Change Purchase Order), or ME23N (Display Purchase Order) to review and modify purchase orders.

  SPRO ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Purchase Order ? Set Tolerance Limits for Price Variances.
