How does "Receipt Tolerance" work in Maximo 7.5.
I could get it working for receiving more quantity than ordered.
But it dose not seem to work for receiving for amount then ordered.
The ‘receipt tolerance amount’ in PO or ‘over received amount’ in Receiving (for service receipt) remains null in all cases.
I tried this for service items and it dose not work.. Could not figure out how it works.
Any suggestions will be very helpful.

Same with invoice tolerance in security set up.
Is this a tolerance on top of the approval limit ?
Please throw some light on this as well if possible...
For Items, you can set up receipt tolerance on the Item Master, and that will follow through to the PO line. However, for materials and services it looks like it has to be inputted directly on the PO line by the buyer.
We tried to set a database default of 5%, but that didn’t work (or at least, didn’t work consistently). Consequently, we ended up creating a small autoscript to set it – that was the only way we could find to ensure it was consistently set on all PO lines. Setting the receipt tolerance to 5% was all that we needed to do – the over-received amount then was set automatically as OrderQty * .05.
The Invoice Tolerance stuff in security setup is different, and goes back to previous versions, unlike the receipt tolerance. To answer your question, it controls the approval limit of the user, so he/she can’t approve the invoice if it varies too much from the PO line/Receipt. However, it’s quite poorly documented in this version – I had to revert to documentation from an old version to really know how to set it. If you like, I can dig around and find that document – just let me know.
