• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_PMNTTRMS105 - Enter percentage rates in descending order ?

  The SAP error message COM_PMNTTRMS105 indicates that the percentage rates entered in a payment terms configuration are not in the required descending order. This error typically occurs when defining payment terms in the SAP system, particularly in the context of financial transactions or invoice processing.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the percentage rates for payment terms are not arranged from the highest to the lowest. For example, if you have payment terms defined as follows:
  
  10% (1st installment)
  5% (2nd installment)
  15% (3rd installment)
  
  This configuration would trigger the error because the rates are not in descending order (15% should come before 10% and 5%).
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that all percentage rates in the payment terms are entered in descending order. Here’s how you can do that:
  
  
  Access Payment Terms Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction code (e.g., OBB8 for payment terms configuration) or navigate through the SAP menu to the payment terms settings.
  
  
  
  Review the Payment Terms:
  
  Locate the payment terms that are causing the error. Check the percentage rates associated with each installment.
  
  
  
  Rearrange the Rates:
  
  Adjust the percentage rates so that they are in descending order. For example:
  
  Change from:
  
  10%
  5%
  15%
  
  
  To:
  
  15%
  10%
  5%
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes to the payment terms configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Try to process the transaction again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
