• Key Concepts: 
  Over-delivery tolerance is a feature in SAP SRM-Purchase Requests and Orders that allows for a certain amount of over-delivery of goods or services. This means that the supplier can deliver more than the requested quantity, up to the specified tolerance limit. The tolerance limit is set by the buyer and can be adjusted as needed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use over-delivery tolerance, the buyer must first set a tolerance limit. This can be done in the purchase order settings. Once the limit is set, the supplier can deliver up to that amount without any additional approval from the buyer. The buyer will then be able to accept or reject the delivery based on their own criteria. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that over-delivery tolerance should only be used when necessary. If the supplier consistently delivers more than what was requested, it may be better to adjust the purchase order quantity instead of relying on over-delivery tolerance.
