• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS_MASS024 - Termination due to error in tolerance check; see previous message ?

  The SAP error message WS_MASS024: Termination due to error in tolerance check; see previous message typically occurs during mass processing transactions (such as mass asset postings, mass vendor payments, or mass invoice processing) when a tolerance check fails.
  
  Cause
  
  
  Tolerance Check Failure:
  
  The system performs tolerance checks to ensure that amounts or values do not exceed predefined limits. These limits are set to prevent posting errors, such as posting amounts that are too high or too low compared to expected values.
  
  
  Previous Message Contains Details:
  
  The message WS_MASS024 is a termination message indicating that the process stopped because a tolerance check failed. The actual reason for the failure is detailed in the previous message in the log or output. This previous message usually specifies which tolerance was violated (e.g., payment difference tolerance, invoice amount tolerance, etc.).
  
  
  Common scenarios include:  
  
  Payment differences exceeding allowed tolerance limits.  
  Invoice amounts differing from purchase order amounts beyond allowed limits.  
  Asset posting amounts exceeding tolerance limits.  
  Currency differences or rounding differences exceeding tolerance.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Previous Message:
  
  Review the message immediately before WS_MASS024 in the application log or output. It will specify which tolerance check failed and why.
  
  
  Review Tolerance Settings:  
  
  Go to the relevant tolerance configuration in SAP. For example:  
  
  For FI (Financial Accounting) tolerance keys: SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Outgoing Payments -> Tolerances for Payment Differences  
  For MM (Materials Management) invoice tolerances: SPRO -> Materials Management -> Logistics Invoice Verification -> Incoming Invoice -> Set Tolerances  
  For Asset Accounting: Check tolerance limits in asset posting configurations.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Tolerance Limits (if appropriate):
  
  If the business process requires it and the tolerance limits are too strict, increase the tolerance limits accordingly.
  
  
  Correct the Data:
  
  If the tolerance limits are correct, then the data causing the error needs correction. For example:  
  
  Adjust the invoice or payment amount to fall within tolerance.  
  Correct currency or rounding differences.  
  Verify master data and transactional data consistency.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Transaction:
  
  After correcting the data or adjusting tolerance settings, rerun the mass processing.
