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.
