• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06180 - Please enter percentages in descending order ?

  The SAP error message "06180 - Please enter percentages in descending order" typically occurs in the context of defining a pricing procedure or when setting up conditions in sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM) modules. This error indicates that the percentages you have entered do not follow the required descending order, which is necessary for the system to process the data correctly.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you are trying to enter multiple percentage values (for example, discounts or surcharges) in a condition record, and the values are not in descending order. For instance, if you enter 10%, 5%, and then 15%, the system will throw this error because 15% is not less than 10%.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that all percentage values are entered in descending order. Here’s how you can do that:
  
  Review the Entered Percentages: Check the percentages you have entered in the relevant fields.
  Rearrange the Values: If they are not in descending order, rearrange them accordingly. For example, if you have entered 20%, 15%, and 10%, this is correct. If you have entered 10%, 20%, and 15%, you need to change it to 20%, 15%, and 10%.
  Save the Changes: After correcting the order, save your changes.
