SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message number: 753

• Message text: > Cash discount base amount not set

What causes this issue?

The cash discount basis amount has not been set (possibly inadvertently)
for the document creation.
Although a cash discount can be claimed by reason of the existing
payment conditions, it is not possible to determine the cash discount
amount.

System Response

The payment program pays this item in accordance with the setting
described below.
The checks on when the item is due are made for the corresponding
setting after any correction made to the baseline date of payment in
accordance with the payment conditions. Using these corrected and logged
payment conditions, a check is made whether the net due date has already
been reached. However, when the item is included in the exceptions, the
original payment conditions are restored.

W - Such items should only be paid if their due date for net payment is
reached, and do not need to be designated as exceptions.

payment, but are to be marked as exceptions.
