• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FC113 - Enter percentage rates in descending order ?

  The SAP error message FC113 ("Enter percentage rates in descending order") typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with interest rates, discount rates, or similar percentage-based calculations in SAP. This error indicates that the percentage rates you have entered do not follow the required descending order.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you input a series of percentage rates that are not arranged from highest to lowest. For example, if you enter rates like 5%, 3%, and then 4%, the system will trigger this error because the rates must be in descending order (i.e., 5%, 4%, 3%).
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that all percentage rates are entered in descending order. Here’s how you can do that:
  
  Review the Rates: Check the percentage rates you have entered in the relevant fields.
  Rearrange the Rates: If they are not in descending order, rearrange them accordingly. For example, if you have rates of 5%, 3%, and 4%, change them to 5%, 4%, and 3%.
  Re-enter the Data: After rearranging, re-enter the rates into the system.
  Save the Changes: Once the rates are in the correct order, save your changes and proceed with the transaction.

  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation or your organization's SAP training materials for specific guidelines on entering percentage rates.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the financial data in SAP.
  Testing: After making changes, it’s a good practice to test the transaction to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
