Tolerance handling has been introduced to Dynamics GP 2013 to improve accuracy of order quantities in purchase order processing, by automatically closing open purchase orders left in the system from quantity shortages within a defined percentage.

To enable quantity tolerance for shortage, perform the following steps:
Mark the Shortage checkbox.

Mark the Overage checkbox.
Enter the maximum overage percentage to be allowed...
