Basic contract - Tolerance values tab

Page finder

On this tab, you can specify tolerance values for the processing of invoices related to this basic contract. Tolerance values determine whether invoices will be accepted for payment or rejected if there are differences between the order price or quantity and the invoice price or quantity.

Valuation date

Use delivery date as valuation date.

Use deliver note date instead of delivery date.

Total price, single price and order quantity

In these sections, you can specify the tolerance values that should be used for order prices and quantities.

Tolerance values can be entered as relative and absolute.

Relative tolerance values are always expressed as a percentage of the price or quantity.

Absolute tolerance values are expressed as a specific value for prices and a specific number of items for quantities. For total and single item prices are entered in the currency of the basic contract based on the specifications on the Master data tab.

The lower limit specifies the lower values for undershipments or price differences, the upper limit sets the upper values for overshipments or price differences.

Only values also flagged for use by enabling the corresponding check box are considered.

If only one error is output if both the relative and absolute tolerance limits are exceeded, you must enable the relevant check box. Naturally, this is only available if you use both relative and absolute tolerance limits.

Note: However, this option is of no use if you have only defined one lower limit for a relative difference and one upper limit for an absolute difference, as this case cannot occur simultaneously.

If you do not want to permit any price differences or over- or undershipments for this basic contract (or the corresponding invoices), you should enter the value 0 as the upper and lower limit (here, it is enough in all three cases to enter 0 for either the two absolute values or the two relative values).

If you also want invoices with price or quantity differences of any size to be processed automatically, you should not enable any check box.

The date for the evaluation price is specified here. The order date (or order confirmation) is set as the default evaluation time. If activated, the delivery date becomes the evaluation date and the difference is checked against this value. This is not used in the standard system.
