Overdeliveries and Underdeliveries 7.3
If the customer permits unlimited overdelivery, place a checkmark in the Unlimited
tol. box. Enter the acceptable percentage of overdelivery or underdelivery
in the other two fields — 100% is the ordered quantity in both cases. If you have
defined a tolerance limit for overdelivery and also set the flag to allow any number
of follow-up deliveries (“D” in the Partial delivery per item field), the flag
takes priority over the tolerance limit. In this case, the percentage value would be
meaningless.
If I now enter a sales order, the agreements from the customer master are transferred
into the sales order item. To display or change the sales order (Transactions
VA01, VA02, and VA03), highlight the item and follow menu path Goto • Item
• Shipping from the menu bar. You can enter individual agreements here (see
Figure 7.14).
Figure 7.14 Tolerances for Overdelivery and Underdelivery in the Sales Order
If I now create the delivery document, the agreements are transferred from the
sales order item. If I pick a smaller quantity and transfer the picked quantity
into the delivery quantity, the software tells me that the tolerance limit has been
exceeded (see Figure 7.15).
In this section, you have become familiar with the workings of tolerance settings
for overdelivery and underdelivery. If the notification is set as an error message,
you have no choice but to delete the item, adjust the sales order quantity, and
recopy the item to the delivery document.
