  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The transaction type you are using may not be properly configured to handle discounting. In SAP, each transaction type is linked to specific flow types, and if the flow type for discounting (flow type '22') is not assigned to the transaction type, this error will occur.

  Go to the configuration settings for transaction types in SAP. This can typically be found in the SPRO transaction under the relevant module (e.g., Financial Accounting or Controlling).
  Navigate to the section where transaction types are defined and check if the transaction type in question is linked to the correct flow types, including flow type '22'.
  
  
  
  Assign Flow Type:
  
  If the flow type '22' is not assigned to the transaction type, you will need to add it. This may involve modifying the configuration settings to ensure that the transaction type can handle discounting.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to transaction types and flow types to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for configuration.
