• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VY622 - Invoice value too low: Tolerance limit of &2% not reached ?

  The SAP error message VY622, "Invoice value too low: Tolerance limit of &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 tolerance limit set for the transaction, which can prevent the invoice from being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Tolerance Limit Settings: The system has a predefined tolerance limit for invoice verification, which is usually set as a percentage of the purchase order or contract value. If the invoice amount is below this limit, the system will trigger this error.
  Invoice Amount: The actual invoice amount submitted for verification is lower than the expected amount based on the purchase order or contract.
  Configuration Issues: The tolerance limits may not be configured correctly in the system, or they may not align with the business requirements.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Invoice Amount: Check the invoice amount against the purchase order or contract. Ensure that the invoice is correct and that the amount is valid.
  Adjust Tolerance Limits: If the invoice amount is correct but falls below the tolerance limit, consider adjusting the tolerance settings in the SAP configuration. This can be done by:
  
  Navigating to the configuration settings for tolerance limits in the SAP system (usually found in the Materials Management (MM) module).
  Adjusting the percentage tolerance limit to accommodate lower invoice amounts if this aligns with business policies.
  
  
  Consult with Procurement: If the invoice is valid but the amount is low due to a legitimate reason (e.g., discounts, partial deliveries), consult with the procurement team to ensure that the invoice should be processed as is.
  Manual Approval: In some cases, it may be necessary to manually approve the invoice if it is below the tolerance limit but still valid. This may involve additional steps in the workflow.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like MIRO (Invoice Verification) to process invoices and check for errors.
  Configuration Path: The tolerance limits can typically be configured in the following path:
  
  SPRO ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Invoice Verification ? Define Tolerances for Invoice Verification.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed steps on how to adjust tolerance limits and handle invoice verification errors.
  
  Best Practices:
  
  Regularly review and update tolerance limits to ensure they align with current business practices.
  Train users on how to handle low invoice amounts and the importance of verifying invoice accuracy.
  Implement a clear process for handling exceptions to avoid delays in invoice processing.
  
  By addressing the cause of the error and implementing the appropriate solutions, you can effectively resolve the VY622 error and streamline the invoice verification process in SAP.
