  The SAP error message FI_E135, which states "Adjusted net due days &2 is less than the first discount days &1," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with payment terms and discount calculations in accounts payable or accounts receivable.
  Cause:
  This error arises when the adjusted net due days (the number of days until the net amount is due after considering any discounts) is less than the first discount days (the number of days within which a discount can be taken).

  Adjust Payment Terms: If the payment terms are incorrect, you may need to adjust them. This can be done in the vendor or customer master data:
  
  Go to the vendor or customer master record.
  Navigate to the payment terms section.
  Modify the payment terms to ensure that the net due days are greater than or equal to the first discount days.
  
  
  
  Check Document Settings: If the error occurs during a specific transaction, check the document settings for that transaction. Ensure that the payment terms applied to the document are correct.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, check the configuration for payment terms in the SAP system. Ensure that the definitions for discount days and net due days are set up correctly.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making adjustments, test the transaction again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like FK02 (Change Vendor) or FD02 (Change Customer) to modify the master data.
