• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VY619 - Invoice value too high: Tolerance limit of &1 &2 exceeded ?

  The SAP error message VY619, which states "Invoice value too high: Tolerance limit of &1 &2 exceeded," typically occurs during the invoice verification process in the SAP system. This error indicates that the invoice amount exceeds the predefined tolerance limits set for the invoice verification process.
  Cause:
  
  Tolerance Limits: SAP allows for certain tolerances in invoice verification to account for minor discrepancies between the invoice amount and the purchase order (PO) amount. If the invoice amount exceeds these limits, the system will trigger this error.
  Configuration Settings: The tolerance limits are configured in the system and can vary based on the company’s policies. They can be set for different types of invoices, such as goods receipts or service entries.
  Invoice Amount: The actual invoice amount may be significantly higher than the expected amount based on the purchase order or goods receipt.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Tolerance Settings:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for tolerance limits in the SAP system. This can typically be found under the following path:
  
  SPRO > Materials Management > Invoice Verification > Define Tolerances for Invoice Verification.
  
  
  Check the settings for the relevant tolerance limits and adjust them if necessary. You may need to consult with your finance or procurement team to determine appropriate limits.
  
  
  
  Check Invoice Amount:
  
  Verify the invoice amount against the purchase order and goods receipt. Ensure that the invoice is correct and that there are no errors in the amounts being billed.
  If the invoice is indeed correct, you may need to adjust the purchase order or goods receipt to reflect the correct amounts.
  
  
  
  Manual Approval:
  
  If the invoice amount is justified and exceeds the tolerance limits, you may need to seek manual approval from a supervisor or manager to process the invoice.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant documentation or policies regarding invoice processing and tolerance limits within your organization.
