Message text: Requirements of calc. rule for discount in kind not satisfied (item &)
A calculation rule that allows discount in kind only for a multiple of
the discount-in-kind base quantity has been defined for the discount in
kind granted on this material.
<ZH>Example:</>
Your supplier grants a discount in kind amounting to three pc per
discount-in-kind base quantity of 100 pc on all bonsai trees ordered
from him. However, you qualify for discount in kind only if the PO
quantity is a multiple of the base quantity (in this example, 100, 200,
300 pc). Thus, if you order 300 bonsai trees, you will be charged for
only 291. If you order 280 bonsai trees, you will be charged for all
280.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
To qualify for discount in kind on this material, increase or reduce the
ordered quantity to a multiple of the discount-in-kind base quantity.
