• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M8085 - Price too low (below tolerance limit of & %) ?

  The SAP error message M8085, 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 safeguard to prevent the acceptance of prices that are significantly lower than expected, which could indicate a data entry error or a pricing issue.
  Cause:
  
  Price Tolerance Settings: The system has a defined tolerance limit for price variances. If the price of the item being processed is lower than this limit, the error will trigger.
  Incorrect Pricing: The price entered for the item may be incorrect, either due to a data entry error or an outdated price in the system.
  Vendor Agreement: The price may not align with the agreed-upon pricing in the vendor master data or purchasing info records.
  Currency Fluctuations: If the transaction involves multiple currencies, fluctuations may cause the price to fall below the tolerance limit.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Tolerance Settings: Review 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: Check the price entered in the purchase order or goods receipt against the vendor master data and purchasing info records. Ensure that the price is correct and reflects the agreed terms.
  
  Use transaction codes like ME23N (Display Purchase Order) or ME22N (Change Purchase Order) to review the details.
  
  
  
  Update Vendor Master Data: If the price is indeed correct but is not reflected in the vendor master data, update the vendor information accordingly.
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders: If the price is intentionally low (e.g., a promotional price), consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., procurement, finance) to determine if an exception can be made or if the tolerance limit should be adjusted temporarily.
  
  
  Review Currency Settings: If currency conversion is involved, ensure that the exchange rates are up to date and that the pricing reflects the correct currency conversion.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ME21N (Create Purchase Order), ME22N (Change Purchase Order), ME23N (Display Purchase Order), and ME11 (Create Info Record).
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to purchasing and pricing tolerances for more detailed guidance.
  User Roles: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and permissions to make changes to purchase orders and vendor data.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the M8085 error and ensure that pricing is correctly managed within your SAP system.
