Records needed for this question
Tolerance policy, line-level differences and supplier history.
How to investigate
Aggregate comparable variances by cause and period, then review patterns without assuming every difference is recoverable.
An illustrative review decision
Several small variances may share a changed supplier rate. Aggregate only comparable lines and investigate the common cause; the pattern informs review even where individual payment tolerances were properly applied.
What can lead to the wrong conclusion?
A below-threshold line can still reveal a process defect when repeated.
The result to retain
A pattern review separate from individual payment tolerances.
