Prices in & items were not reached or were exceeded

Message type: E = Error

Message class: M8 - Invoice Verification/Valuation

Message number: 516

Message text: Prices in & items were not reached or were exceeded



What causes this issue?

The price of the invoice items was changed on the basis of the
condition changes.
The system checked the price changes against the tolerance limit. For
&V1& items, the system discovered that the price was outside the
allowed tolerance limits.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

In &V2& items, the price was too high
In &V3& items, the price was too low


&HINTS&
You can change the type of messages '082', '083', '084' and '085' in
Customizing for Invoice Verification. So you might receive a message as
an error message, although it appears as a warning message in the
standard system.


System Response

In the case of a warning message, the blocking indicator is set
accordingly. When you post the invoice, the system blocks it for
payment with the blocking reason "Price variance".
In the case of an error message, the condition changes are not adopted
in the item amounts. Since the amounts are not changed in this case,
the system does not set the blocking indicator.


How to fix this error?

Check your entries and make any necessary corrections. If you post the
document despite the variance (does not apply to an error message), the
system posts the invoice and makes the associated account movements.
However, the document receives a blocking indicator at the same time,
so that it cannot be paid.
