- Credits reduce quantity at the invoice unit price. Monetary-only credits, tax, freight, discounts and multi-line allocations are outside this checker.
- This exact line check compares net invoiced quantity with accepted quantity. A valid partial invoice may therefore need review. Confirm whether your own policy permits it.
- Tolerance boundaries are inclusive. A result is a review aid, not payment authorization or verification of the supplier and source documents.
The formula
Net invoiced quantity = invoiced quantity − credited quantity. Quantity difference = net invoiced − accepted. Allowed price difference = PO unit price × price tolerance ÷ 100. Differences exactly at the stated limits are included.
