Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about what should be entered in the basis field, refer to the relevant SAP documentation or user manuals for guidance on the specific transaction you are working with.
Check Configuration: If you are consistently encountering this error across multiple transactions, it may be worth checking the configuration settings in your SAP system. There may be specific settings that dictate how amounts and bases are handled.
