Which item controls the amounts each user must post to a document in SAP FI?

Tolerance groups
Document type
Primary cost element
Bank directory

The correct answer is: Tolerance groups

The correct answer is tolerance groups. Tolerance groups in SAP FI are used to define the limits of posting amounts that users are permitted to enter in financial documents. These groups help maintain consistency and control within financial transactions by establishing thresholds. For instance, if a user tries to post an amount exceeding the set limit in their tolerance group, the system will trigger an error or warning, preventing the transaction from being completed. This function is essential for ensuring proper financial oversight and minimizing the risk of errors or unauthorized transactions. In contrast, document type primarily distinguishes how different financial documents are processed within the system, such as invoices or credit memos. It does not control posting amounts. The primary cost element represents the type of cost or revenue being recorded in the financial transactions but does not impose limits on user postings. The bank directory is related to managing bank accounts and transactions but is also not involved in controlling posting amounts for users.
