I am having trouble finding how the supplier Invoice Tolerance Parameters and the Invoice Posting Authorization works together.

What I would like is if the Invoice and Purchase Order are within 5%, not require a authorization.  Over 5% deviance, requires posting authorization.

I just have had trouble finding documentation on how these work together.

Hi, 

From what I understand of the question, that’s how it works.   Assume a supplier invoice for 100 and PO arrival value of 96, with a 5% tolerance. Similarly, a 104 invoice and a 100 arrival will be within tolerance.   - Note tolerance can be both % and amount. We use the lower of the two.  For example, 5% on 1,000,000 is a big number you may want in that case to have an amount 25 or 50. 

Even “if” you set up a tolerance at the company or supplier, the tolerance function is not used unless the supplier is marked as use tolerance (check box type option).  I’ve seen many people miss that set up. 

This is an example from the older client IEE not Cloud but same / same concept / areas in IFS. 

Best regards,
