Is it possible to have different tolerances for Contracts vs. Quotes vs. Specials?

Regarding PO vs. Invoice price tolerances, I was told that we are unable to have different tolerances for Contracted items vs. Quotes vs. Special purchases.  I'm surprised by that and wonder if anyone has information they can share?  Is this true?

Also, I'm curious to know what tolerances you use.  For "Over Cost", we are currently using 1%-OR-$1 and for "Under Cost" we are currently using $5-OR-1%.  I'm curious how this compares to others, and how this affects the number of low-value buyers messages we work.

Yes it is true - we've never been questioned on it so I don't know that it's causing us pain. You can create match rules per vendor with the handling codes.



I would think we wouldn't care contract v quotes v non-contract so much as we want to know why the vendor is waiting until invoice to bring up the discrepancy.
