SAP Three-Way Match Controls

SAP three-way match checks, at invoice posting, whether the purchase order, goods receipt and supplier invoice agree. Standard tolerances do not always fit a business: price differences slip through, quantities that were never received get invoiced, or the process stops even for trivial differences. Poorly tuned controls lead either to overpayment or to delayed payments caused by unnecessary blocks. The goal is to stop the risky invoice while keeping the clean one flowing.

TURKZEN designs price and quantity checks that run at MIRO, with tolerances by material group, vendor, amount or percentage, and implements them as BAdI and ABAP developments. When a tolerance is exceeded, the invoice is stopped with a warning or a block, the reason is shown clearly, and an authorized person can release the blocked invoice with a justification. We have delivered this kind of three-way match solution with price and quantity controls at MIRO for a food manufacturer in Saudi Arabia.

This solution suits companies with high purchasing volumes, those buying raw materials or packaging with frequently changing prices, and teams closing internal audit findings. Typical outcomes include lower overpayment risk, transparent block reasons, traceable release decisions and fewer disputes between purchasing and finance. Price and quantity control at MIRO is also a solid foundation for accounts payable automation, letting clean invoices flow while only real differences go to review.
