3-way match configuration in sap fico

3-way match configuration

Question: It's my understanding that the 3-way match is an inherent control in SAP... but I've also heard that it is a configurable control. I have searched high and low for this configuration control (assuming it's in one place) and I cannot find it. Auditors (You'd think they know) keep asking for documentation on it.

Is there such a configurable control? If so, where is it in the menu or what is the t-code?

Thanks for anybody that can shed some light on this thorn in my side.

Answer:
3 way match is inherent. The only configurable portion would be the tolerance of the deviation from the price or the material that is allowed. This config setting is in the material management.

hope this helps.

Hi - the answer is a bit deeper than that

There are also inherent controls depending on the type of purchashing document used

There are two basic types of purchasing document which are the purchase order and the schedule agreement

If you look in the line item for the purchasing document you can see the four flags which greatly influence the 3 way match

The most important one is the goods receipt based invoice verification flag

If this flag is set ON then the quantity on the invoice can never exceed the quantity received - this is hardwired in SAP
