What is the use of 'Accept Quantity Difference' under supplier master>Invoice>PO matching

Hi, 

Per help --- Accept Quantity Difference
If this check box is selected, the quantity on the invoice line and the purchase order line that are matched is allowed to differ when the posting is automatically authorized. This is only applicable if Line Matching is selected as the matching level for purchase orders.

In my testing - when using line level matching option, the “tolerance” functionality is then also enabled. 

Typically line level matching is far less common than PO header matching. The only time I’ve used line level matching was when we received XML from the supplier in that line level detail and the client was very sensitive to cost on each and every line. In that business even a few pennies difference was important. 

Best regards

Hi Thomas Peterson thanks for the reply.

But I tried all the possible scenarios by checking and unchecking the box ‘Accept quantity difference’ to see the difference, but it doesn’t give any effect or any pop-up message even though there is a quantity difference between the PO and the invoice.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Thomas Thanks 

I tried with tolerance check box enabled but let me try again & will get back to you.

Hi Thomas Thanks for the solution. It is working . Issue resolved.

Hi, 

If this is solved… maybe mark this as solved. 

Hi @Pavithra.MM  - You should see the “best answer” option under the replies. Just mark the one you’d like noted as the correct answer.

Thanks @Thomas Peterson for helping here!

Hi ​@Thomas Peterson ​@Pavithra.MM 

I too enabled the ‘Allow Tolerance’ toggle for the supplier and tried to create a scenario where the Invoice quantity does not match with the PO quantity (But invoice qty matches with receipt qty). However, despite the ‘Accept Quantity Difference’ toggle being disabled, the system went ahead and made the match. Is there anything I am missing here? 

My expectation is for the posting proposal to be in unmatched status, as the invoice quantity differs from the PO quantity.  

Appreciate any feedback here.
