SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FKKMA - Messages for Master Agreement

• Message number: 159

• Message text: Timing of the calculation for discount key &1 is asynchronous.

What causes this issue?

The <DS:DE.DISC_CALC_EXECUTION_KK>Time of Calculation</> in
discount/charge key &v1& is currently set to <ZK>synchronous</>.

System Response

When you use a discount/charge key in a discount agreement, the
calculation <ZK>always</> takes place asynchronously. Therefore, the
system ignores the <DS:DE.DISC_CALC_EXECUTION_KK>Time of Calculation</>
currently set in the discount key.

How to fix this error?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKMA159 - Timing of the calculation for discount key &1 is asynchronous. ?

  The SAP error message FKKMA159 indicates that there is an issue with the timing of the calculation for a discount key in the context of contract accounts receivable and payable (FI-CA). This error typically arises when there is an inconsistency in the timing of discount calculations, particularly when asynchronous processing is involved.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Asynchronous Processing: The discount key calculation is expected to be processed synchronously, but it is being processed asynchronously, leading to timing issues.
  Configuration Issues: There may be incorrect or incomplete configuration settings for the discount key in the system.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the data related to the discount key, such as missing or incorrect entries in the relevant tables.
  Custom Code: If there are custom enhancements or modifications in the discount calculation logic, they may not be handling asynchronous processing correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FKKMA159 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
