                              TOLERANCE GROUPS:


This is two types

1.GL Accounts                                              2.Employee

a) Receipts / Payment transactions
b) Mandatory area

Retained area called open item management.

This is used for vendors, customers and balance sheet accounts where clearing is required.

Outstanding expenses A/c
                        Salaries                     500000

Bank 15000  Rent                               15000
                        Wages                       100000

If we see the account in the month end or year end-we will have no of credits and no. of debits. We don’t know which item is pending and how much is pending.

As per SAP open item management –At the time of making payment –System will as against which provision we are making the payment. When we specify the payment is being made against rent provision. It clears the transaction.

The advantage is we can see the account in 3 ways.

1)    If we select open items payable Eg. Salaries and Wages.
2)    If we select cleared items :paid Eg. Rent and bank
3)    If we select all items: Payable + paid

The same way we use for vendors and customers and also.

                        Vendors X  A/c
Bank – For 1             100                 1                      1000
Bank –For 2              200                 2                      2000
Bank-For3                300                 3                      3000
Bank for 4                400                 4                      4000
Bank for 5                500                 5                      5000

Bill wise out standings we can see for vendor.

We can have tolerances (payment differences). It can be amount tolerance or percentage tolerance or both it can be debit amount or credit amount.

            Outstanding expenses A/c
                        Salaries                                 500000
                        Rent                                      15000

Bank 15000  Wages                                       100000
Bank   100000           Commission                  100005

There is difference of Rs.5 in the account for commission which need not be paid.
We can difference tolerances.

            Tolerance
            Group                         Amount          percentage
            A                                 100
            B                                                            5%

A)   We have to assign tolerance group in account –in outstanding expenses A/c we have assigned tolerance group A

B)   At the time of making payment  system checks
Provision       100005
Payment        100000
Difference     5

If the difference of Rs.5 is within tolerance group amount. i.e.100 system will clear the provision  and transfer to sundry balances written off account at time of making payment.

Disadvantages:

1.    Tolerance group is given at account level and not at the transaction level.

Outstanding expenses A/c.
                                                                                         Diff to give
             Salaries                                 500000                       200                             

Bank                 15000             Rent               15000            15       

                                                             Wages           100000          500

                 Bank                 100000         Commission    100005          100


2.    There is not flexibility amount percentage tolerance group.
   A                     100
                                    B                            5%
                                    C                       0

            Outstanding Expenses A/c.

                                    Salaries         500000
Bank 15000                   Rent               15000
                                    Wages           100000
Bank 100000                Commission    100005

If we give tolerance group A in outstanding expenses account if the difference is less than tolerance group amount and transferring sundry balances written of account automatically.

When we give tolerance group C instead of A in outstanding expenses account.

                                                            Outstanding expenses A/c.

Bank               100000                       Salaries         500000
Bank               15000                         Rent               15000
Bank               100000                       Commission  100005
Provision       100005
Payment        100000
                        -----------
Difference                 5
                        =======
Not payable                                       payable

Transfer 5                  Now Rs.100000 as part payment

To sundry balances off a/c and clear the transaction.
This is mandatory area.

                                    Tolerance Group                  Amount                      Percentage
                                                A                                 100
                                                B                                                                 5%
Bank                                        C                                 0

Instead of crating group C - keep the filed blank and give amount zero.

While creating 1000 GL accounts, Vendor accounts and customer accounts.
Keep tolerance group field blank, system expects we have created blank
Tolerance group and already assigned.

For our company code: we are creating bank tolerance group wit amount zero so that no need to assign.
