Message type: E = Error
Message class: EK - IS-U Accounts Receivable and Payable
Message number: 026
Message text: Term of payment &1 is inconsistent/not planned
Term of payment &v1&, used in <DS:DE.KONDZAHL>payment condition</> &v2&
has been maintained inconsistently, or is not supposed to be used in a
utility company.
Processing cannot be executed.
Check the terms of payment.
Note the following:
The date entries (date limits) must be in ascending order and cover the
whole month.
If the date entry is 0, no further entries are allowed for the term of
payment (with date entry not 0), since the date limit is interpreted as
the last date in the month.
If you enter several date limits, you must maintain an entry for date
limit 31.
A proposal for the date type (base date) must be entered.
Recommendation: Document date or entry date. If you maintain several
date limits, you can only use one date type for each term of payment.
Only terms of payments with single-level cash discount entry can be used
in utility companies.
Terms of payment with cash discount entries must guarantee that the
resulting due date for net payment does not come before the cash
discount deadline.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
