Difference between PO Amount and Receipt Matching Amount due to rounding

We have identified a discrepancy between the PO amount and the amount available in Match PO Receipts.

For PO S1373, the total PO amount is 5,412.95, while the total receipt matching amount is 5,413.05, resulting in a difference of 0.10. The quantities and unit prices are identical on both the PO and the receipts.

After analysing the documents, it seems that the difference is caused by rounding at receipt level. One PO line has a quantity of 5,000 and a unit price of 0.2917, but the receipts were created in multiple transactions of 250 units each. The individual receipt amounts appear to be rounded before being accumulated, generating a total difference of 0.10.

Could you please confirm if this is expected IFS behaviour and advise whether there is any configuration available to avoid or reduce these accumulated rounding differences during PO receipt matching?

Hi, 

If your using supplier invoice workflow (posting proposals) and the supplier it set to allow tolerance, the small difference can be managed automatically.  You still have the small PPV, but it would be managed automatically.   

You did not include the IFS version number, and this is important as over the years, R&D has worked on rounding.  

Best regards,
