Reproducing the Issue

- Select the relevant Supplier Invoice.
- Select Edit and then select View All.
- Select Check/Post.
- The error message appears.
The same error message can be observed in the Exceptions tab of the Supplier Invoice.
Cause
The price variance exception is created if the calculated average price of invoices already posted and current invoice is higher than the price of the referenced purchasing document. The invoice item is never checked alone against the purchase order item but always together with all other invoice items that have been posted with reference to this purchase order item. Additionally the average price variance exception would be created also due to the limitation of decimal places in the currency which is used in the purchasing document.
Resolution
The price variance exception can be accepted and the supplier invoice document can be posted by following the below steps.
- Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center.
- Go to the Invoices and Credit Memos view.
- Select the relevant Supplier Invoice.
- Select Edit and then select View All.
- Navigate to Exceptions tab and select the Price Variance exception.
- Select Accept Price Variance button to post the Supplier Invoice.
