Tolerance group for employees is to restrict/control the users for posting the documents. Here we can give user wise maximum limit for tolerance groups.
In the SAP system we can specify in advance various monetary limits for our employees with which we determine:
- The maximum document amount the employee is authorized to post.
- The maximum amount the employee can enter as a line item in a customer or vendor account.
- The maximum cash discount percentage the employee can grant in a line item.
- The maximum acceptable tolerance for payment differences for the employee.
Payment differences are posted automatically within certain tolerance groups. This way the system can post the difference by correcting the cash discount or by posting to a separate expense or revenue account.
In this respect we define
The amounts or percentage rates up to; which the system automatically posts to a separate expense or revenue account if it is not possible to correct the cash discount.
Or
Up to the amount difference, the system is to correct the cash discount. In this case, the cash discount is automatically increased or decreased by the difference using the tolerance groups.
