How to fix this error?

Check the entered term of payment. Pay attention to the following:
Specification of days (day limits) must be in ascending order and must
cover the entire month.
In combination with the day specification "0", no additional entries
for terms of payment may be made (with specification of day not "0")
because "0" is interpreted as the last day of the month.
For entry of several day limits, the entry for day limit "31" must be
maintained.
A suggestion for the type of date (baseline date) must be made.
Recommendation: document date or entry date. Only one type of date may
be used for each term of payment if several day limits are maintained.
Only terms of payment with one-level cash discount specification may be
used in IS-U.
The terms of payment with cash discount specification must ensure that
the resulting due date for net payment does not come before the cash
discount deadline.
