• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE093 - GR quantity smaller than quantity ordered less underdelivery tolerance ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_ARCHIVE093 indicates that there is an issue with the goods receipt (GR) quantity being smaller than the quantity ordered, and this discrepancy exceeds the underdelivery tolerance set in the system. This typically occurs during the goods receipt process when the quantity received is less than what was ordered, and the system is configured to enforce strict tolerance limits.
  Cause:
  
  Underdelivery Tolerance Settings: The underdelivery tolerance is a configuration in SAP that allows a certain percentage or quantity of underdelivery without triggering an error. If the received quantity is below the ordered quantity and exceeds this tolerance, the error will occur.
  Incorrect Quantity Received: The quantity of goods physically received may be less than what was ordered due to various reasons such as supplier issues, shipping errors, or inventory discrepancies.
  Purchase Order Configuration: The purchase order may have been set up with strict tolerances that do not allow for any underdelivery beyond a certain limit.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Underdelivery Tolerance Settings:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for underdelivery tolerance in the purchasing module (Transaction Code: SPRO).
  Adjust the underdelivery tolerance settings if necessary to allow for a greater tolerance for the specific material or vendor.
  
  
  
  Verify Received Quantity:
  
  Confirm the actual quantity received against the purchase order. If the quantity received is indeed correct, you may need to contact the supplier to resolve the discrepancy.
  If the received quantity is incorrect, you may need to adjust the goods receipt to reflect the correct quantity.
  
  
  
  Adjust Purchase Order:
  
  If the underdelivery tolerance cannot be adjusted, consider modifying the purchase order to reflect the actual quantity that is expected to be received.
  You can also discuss with your procurement team about adjusting future orders to account for expected variances.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Movement Type:
  
  If the situation allows, you might consider using a different movement type that does not enforce the same tolerance checks, but this should be done with caution and in accordance with your organization's policies.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your system configuration and business processes.
