+5Can we configure the PO to have a defined quantity tolerance for goods receipts, with a hard limit?
For example, if we order 100 boxes and set a ±10% tolerance, the system should allow receipts between 90 and 110 boxes. However, it should automatically prevent the receipt if the quantity is below 90 or above 110.
Is there a standard configuration or setting that can enforce this tolerance at the time of receipt?

For over-delivery, yes. On the Purchase Part, you can set the over-delivery parameters, including enabling the check, defining an over-delivery tolerance, and setting the actions for Authorised and Non-Authorised to Error. This will prevent receipts from exceeding the allowed tolerance.
However, this does not cater for under-deliveries. The only standard functionality available for this is the closing tolerance, which allows a Purchase Order line to be closed when it has been receipted short, provided the remaining quantity is within the defined tolerance.
If the standard functionality does not provide sufficient control, a Custom Event / Event Action could be created to validate under-receipts.
The existing over-delivery tolerance field could potentially be reused for this purpose, avoiding the need to introduce any additional custom fields. The event action could then validate the received quantity against the defined tolerance and take the appropriate action where the tolerance is exceeded.
