• Key Concepts: 
  Short/over is a term used in the IS-R-POS Point of Sale (POS) component of SAP. It refers to the difference between the expected amount of goods or services that should be delivered and the actual amount that is delivered. A short occurs when the actual amount is less than the expected amount, while an over occurs when the actual amount is more than the expected amount. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use short/over, you must first enter the expected amount of goods or services into SAP. This can be done by entering a purchase order or creating a sales order. Once the goods or services have been delivered, you must then enter the actual amount into SAP. The difference between these two amounts will be calculated automatically and will be displayed as either a short or an over. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the expected and actual amounts are entered accurately in order to get an accurate calculation of short/over. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any discrepancies between expected and actual amounts in order to ensure that all goods and services are accounted for.
