Set Purchasing Limits and Tolerances for GroupsYou use the Limits and Tolerances tab in the Security Groups (SP) application to set approval limits for purchase requests, purchase orders, material requisitions, invoices, and contracts; and to specify for the group how much invoices, taxes, and services can deviate from an initial agreement.
On the List tab, select the group for which you want to set limits and tolerances.
Click the Limits and Tolerances tab.
Click New Row to create a new record, or select an organization from the Organizations table window to edit limits and tolerances for an existing organization.
In the Organization field of the new row, enter the name of an organization or click Detail Menu to select an option and retrieve a value.
Note: The Base Currency field, which is read-only, shows the Base Currency 1 for each organization. You must use this currency in setting limits.
In the Limits section, you can set the following approval limits:
PR - the maximum amount on a purchase request the group can approve.
PO - the maximum amount on a purchase order the group can approve.
MR - the maximum amount on a material requisition the group can approve.
Invoice - the maximum amount on an invoice the group can approve.
Contract - the maximum amount on a contract the group can approve.
Note: Values in these fields default to 0 when you create a new record. A value of 0 means that the group has a limit of 0 in that field, while an empty (null) field means the group has unlimited approval permissions in that field.
In the Invoice Tolerance section, set as needed the upper and lower tolerances by amount and/or percent.
In the Tax Tolerance section, set as needed the upper and lower tolerances by amount and/or percent.
In the Service Tolerance section, set as needed the upper and lower tolerances by amount and/or percent.
