  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FZ711 - > Only cash discount terms 1 possible since document has been net posted ?

    The SAP error message FZ711, which states "Only cash discount terms 1 possible since document has been net posted," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions where cash discount terms are being applied. This error indicates that the system is enforcing specific rules regarding cash discounts based on how the document has been posted.

    Cause:

    1. Net Posting: The document in question has been posted as a net amount, meaning that any cash discounts have already been factored into the total amount. In this case, the system only allows for cash discount terms that correspond to the net amount.
    2. Cash Discount Terms: The cash discount terms defined in the vendor/customer master data or in the document may not align with the net posting. If the terms are set to allow multiple cash discount options, but the document is net posted, the system restricts it to only the first cash discount term.

    Solution:

    1. Review Cash Discount Terms: Check the cash discount terms defined for the vendor or customer in the master data. Ensure that they are set up correctly and that they align with the posting method being used.
    2. Change Posting Method: If appropriate, consider changing the posting method to allow for gross posting instead of net posting. This would allow for multiple cash discount terms to be applied.
    3. Adjust Document: If the document has already been posted, you may need to reverse or adjust the document to correct the cash discount terms or the posting method.
    4. Consult Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, review the settings related to cash discounts in the Financial Accounting (FI) module to ensure they are set up correctly.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on cash discount terms and posting methods.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FB60 (Enter Incoming Invoice) or FB70 (Enter Outgoing Invoice) to understand how cash discounts are applied during document entry.
    • User Exits and BAdIs: In some cases, custom logic may be implemented through user exits or BAdIs that could affect how cash discounts are processed. Check if any customizations are in place that might be causing this issue.

    If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the FI module for further assistance.
