• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_CONF007 - Confirmed price &1 beyond tolerance limit ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_CONF007 indicates that the confirmed price for a purchase order item exceeds the defined tolerance limit. This typically occurs during the confirmation of a purchase order or when processing goods receipts, and it is a mechanism to ensure that the prices being confirmed are within acceptable limits set by the organization.
