Hello and thank you for your inquiry regarding the problem with the error message "F5060" in SAP, which indicates a small difference due to tax calculations. This can indeed happen frequently if there are small rounding differences between the source system and SAP. Here are a few solutions that might help you: 1 Adjust tolerance settings: In SAP, you can configure tolerances for payments and postings. You can typically find these settings in the global settings for Financial Accounting - Navigate to SPRO → Financial Accounting → Financial Accounting → Accounts Receivable/Creditors → Business Transactions → Open Item Accounting → Environment → Define Tolerances → Define Tolerance Groups for Creditors - In this area, you can set tolerable differences for amounts and percentages specifically for creditors. Make sure that your tolerances are set so that they can cover the difference of €0.01. 2. Check or redefine rounding profile: Check that the rounding profile is correctly configured in your SAP system. If necessary, adjust it to better handle rounding differences - See the rounding profiles under SPRO → Financial Accounting → Global Financial Accounting → Tax on Sales and Income → Calculate → Define Rounding Rules. 3. Use automatic account determination for differences: SAP offers the option to automatically post differences to specific accounts. This can be helpful to clear such small differences without having to process them manually - Check your settings under SPRO → Financial Accounting → Financial Accounting → Accounts Receivable/Creditors → Business Advances → Open Items → Clearing → Differences → Define Accounts for Clearing Differences. Here you can define specific accounts for the automatic posting of such differences. 4. Manual posting via a clearing transaction: If the above methods are not applicable or do not work, you could also consider making manual postings to clear the differences. However, this is more of a stopgap solution. 5 Program or function module adjustments: As the invoices come from a pre-system, an adjustment might also be necessary to the function module that transfers the data to SAP in order to handle rounding differences accordingly. Please note that changes in the system configuration should be made carefully and ideally checked in a test environment before they are implemented in the productive system. It may also be useful to consult either your SAP Basis administrator or an SAP consultant, especially if changes in the depths of the configuration are required.
