I'm looking for information related to Receiving and Invoice Tolerances. What tolerance limits - both in dollar and percentage terms - has your company set with respect to permitted variances between PO and Goods Receipt, and between the GR and the Invoice?

We use three-way-matching processes, so there is no invoice tolerance but a receipt tolerance of 5% per line item.
