• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FICUSTOM125 - PCARD Basis Points > CVFR but payment term cannot be changed to AP ?

  The SAP error message FICUSTOM125 indicates that there is an issue with the payment terms related to a procurement card (PCARD) transaction. Specifically, the error states that the basis points for the PCARD exceed the defined limit (CVFR), and as a result, the payment term cannot be changed to Accounts Payable (AP).

  Consult with Finance Team: Engage with your finance or accounting team to understand the implications of changing payment terms and to ensure compliance with internal policies.
  System Update: If necessary, update the system configuration to allow for higher basis points or to change the payment terms if it aligns with business practices.
