# How to set a price tolerance on purchase order matching in CloudSuite Industrial

In CloudSuite Industrial, decide how far a voucher line may differ from the purchase order before a person must look at it. Set that limit where CloudSuite Industrial allows one and name who can pass a difference.

A price tolerance is the gap between the PO price and the invoice price that you accept without a query.

## Before you start

- Voucher Authorization on

## The CloudSuite Industrial way

Where to find it: Purchasing Parameters > Voucher Tolerance Over / Under

1. Open Purchasing Parameters, tick Voucher Authorization
2. Enter Voucher Tolerance Over and Under percentages
3. The system compares PO line Unit Material Cost with the voucher cost and sets Matched or Failed
4. Open Purchasing Parameters and tick Voucher Authorization on the General tab.
5. Enter Voucher Tolerance Over and Voucher Tolerance Under as percentages. Neither can be negative or above 100 percent.

## Limits in CloudSuite Industrial

- Freight and misc variances do not fail the voucher
- The Financials guide describes the percentages in Purchasing Parameters. The Procurement guide also lists them on the vendor record, so confirm which applies at your site.
- Purchase order line Unit Material Cost, not Unit Plan Cost, is what is compared with the voucher cost.
- Returns and adjustments are always given a status of Failed.

## Good to know in CloudSuite Industrial

- You need special authorization to change purchasing parameters.
- Vouchers created from Purchasing take their Authorizer from the Buyer on the purchase order.
- The Procurement guide also lists Voucher Tolerance Over and Under fields on the Credits tab of the vendor record, so check whether your site holds the percentage per vendor as well.
- The Voucher Authorization utility lets you run a range of vouchers, invoice dates and vendors with a Failed or Matched status, in Preview or Commit mode.

## Example in CloudSuite Industrial

Example Plumbing Supplies has a PO line for 40 lengths of pipe at a Unit Material Cost of $18.50. Assume Voucher Tolerance Over is 2 percent.

- Voucher unit cost $18.50: $740.00 (Matched)
- Voucher unit cost $18.80: $752.00 (1.6 percent over, Matched)
- Voucher unit cost $19.80: $792.00 (7.0 percent over, Failed)

Run Voucher Authorization with Commit. The Matched vouchers become Authorized and post. The Failed one is not posted.

## Common mistakes

- Entering tolerance percentages without ticking Voucher Authorization.
- Expecting a freight or misc difference to fail the voucher.
