  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZRE_IV305 - Supplier &1/&2: Difference (&3) is outside tolerance (&4) ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WZRE_IV305 Supplier &1/&2: Difference (&3) is outside tolerance (&4)


    Meaning / Cause:

    This message occurs during invoice verification or invoice posting in SAP MM (Materials Management) when the difference between the invoice amount and the purchase order (PO) or goods receipt (GR) amount exceeds the allowed tolerance limits set for the supplier or company code.

    • &1 = Supplier number
    • &2 = Company code
    • &3 = Actual difference amount between invoice and PO/GR
    • &4 = Allowed tolerance amount

    SAP checks the invoice amount against the PO or GR amount to ensure that the difference is within predefined tolerance limits. If the difference exceeds these limits, the system blocks the invoice posting and issues this warning/error.


    Cause Details:

    • The difference between the invoice amount and the PO/GR amount is greater than the tolerance limit defined in the system.
    • Tolerance limits are maintained to control invoice variances and prevent overpayments or underpayments.
    • These tolerances can be set at different levels: company code, purchasing organization, or vendor.

    Where are Tolerances Maintained?

    • Transaction Code: OMR6 (Maintain Tolerance Limits for Invoice Verification)
    • Tolerances can be set for:
      • Invoice price variance (difference between invoice and PO price)
      • Invoice quantity variance
      • Overall invoice amount variance

    Solution:

    1. Check the difference amount:
      Verify the difference between the invoice and PO/GR amounts to confirm if the difference is valid or an error.

    2. Review tolerance limits:

      • Go to transaction OMR6 and check the tolerance limits set for the company code and vendor.
      • If the business process allows, increase the tolerance limits to accommodate the difference.
    3. Adjust the invoice or PO:

      • If the difference is due to an incorrect invoice amount, request a corrected invoice from the supplier.
      • If the PO or GR is incorrect, correct the PO or post a subsequent credit/debit note.
    4. Override the tolerance (if allowed):

      • Sometimes, users with appropriate authorization can override the tolerance check during invoice posting.
      • This depends on the configuration and company policy.
    5. Consult with Finance and Purchasing:

      • Ensure that any changes to tolerance limits or invoice amounts comply with company policies and audit requirements.

    Additional Information:

    • This message is a warning or error depending on configuration. It can block invoice posting or just warn the user.
    • Proper tolerance settings help prevent payment errors and maintain control over procurement and payment processes.
    • Always document and justify any tolerance limit changes for audit purposes.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Cause Invoice-PO/GR difference exceeds tolerance.
    Solution Check difference, adjust invoice/PO, or increase tolerance in OMR6.
