3449943 - Quantity Variance Error in Supplier Invoice even after flagging "Unlimited Over-Delivery" checkbox in Purchase Order

SAP Business By Design

1. Go to Purchase Requests and Orders work center
2. Create new Purchase Order
3. Navigate to Items tab
4. Under Basic Data, you can see "Unlimited Over-Delivery" checkbox is flagged under Settings
5. Now go to Supplier Invoicing
6. Select Invoice entry
7. Create invoice for that purchase order
8. Exception occurs: "Item quantity greater than open 0 quantity of purchase order"

Unlimited Over-Delivery check box will allow delivery for more than the ordered quantity , but this will not impact the standard message in supplier invoice when invoice is created for more quantity than ordered.

 You can accept the error and continue.

Once unlimited delivery is no longer needed, unchecking this box will not allow delivery above ordered quantity. Moreover in orders where the delivered quantity is already above the ordered quantity, no more deliveries will be allowed.

You can configure exception tolerance level in this fine tuning activity in Business Configuration work center: "Supplier Invoice Exceptions"-> Quantity Variance exception.

That way, the error message will show as warning and will not stop from posting invoices.
