  The SAP error message PZ780, which states "Grouping not possible: no common payment method," typically occurs in the context of payment processing in SAP, particularly when dealing with payment runs or payment proposals.

  Modify Payment Proposal:
  
  If you are using a payment proposal, you can manually adjust the payment proposal to exclude items with different payment methods or create separate payment proposals for different payment methods.
