- Only enter amount as percentage (not both) ?SAP Error Message:
W/164 Only enter amount as percentage (not both)
Cause:
This warning message appears when you enter both an absolute amount and a percentage value in a field or screen where only one type of input is allowed. Typically, in SAP pricing, discounts, surcharges, or condition records, you must specify either a fixed amount or a percentage, but not both simultaneously.
For example, in condition records or pricing procedures, if you try to enter a discount as both a fixed amount and a percentage, SAP will raise this warning to prevent ambiguity in calculation.
Solution:
Enter only one type of value:
Decide whether you want to specify the value as a fixed amount or as a percentage. Clear the other field so that only one is filled.
Check the input screen or condition record:
Look at the fields for amount and percentage. Remove the value from one of them.
Review pricing procedure or condition type settings:
If this happens frequently, verify if the condition type or pricing procedure allows both amount and percentage or only one. Adjust accordingly.
