• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VY621 - Invoice value too low: Tolerance limit of &1 &2 not reached ?

  The SAP error message VY621, "Invoice value too low: Tolerance limit of &1 &2 not reached," typically occurs during the invoice verification process in the SAP system. This error indicates that the invoice amount does not meet the minimum threshold set by the tolerance limits defined in the system for invoice verification.
  Cause:
  
  Tolerance Limits: SAP allows for certain tolerances in invoice verification to account for minor discrepancies between the invoice amount and the purchase order amount. If the invoice amount is below the defined tolerance limit, this error will be triggered.
  Configuration Settings: The tolerance limits for invoice verification are configured in the system. If the invoice amount is lower than the minimum threshold set in these configurations, the error will occur.
  Incorrect Invoice Amount: The invoice amount entered may be incorrect or not aligned with the purchase order or goods receipt.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check 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 > Logistics Invoice Verification > Define Tolerances for Invoice Verification.
  
  
  Review the settings for the tolerance limits and adjust them if necessary. You may need to increase the minimum tolerance limit if it is too restrictive for your business processes.
  
  
  
  Review Invoice Amount:
  
  Verify the invoice amount against the purchase order and goods receipt. Ensure that the invoice amount is correct and corresponds to the expected values.
  If the invoice amount is indeed correct but falls below the tolerance limit, consider discussing with your finance or procurement team to determine if an exception can be made.
  
  
  
  Adjust Invoice:
  
  If the invoice amount is incorrect, contact the vendor to correct the invoice and resubmit it for processing.
  
  
  
  Manual Override:
  
  In some cases, it may be possible to manually override the tolerance check, but this should be done with caution and in accordance with company policies.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Tolerance Types: There are typically two types of tolerances in SAP: 
  
  Amount Tolerance: A fixed amount that can be exceeded.
  Percentage Tolerance: A percentage of the invoice amount that can be exceeded.
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like MIRO (Invoice Verification) to process invoices and check for errors.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on configuring tolerances and handling invoice verification errors.
  
  
  User Roles: Ensure that the user processing the invoice has the appropriate roles and permissions to make changes to tolerance settings or override checks.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the VY621 error and successfully process the invoice.
