  Error Message
  WP735: Invalid condition type for discount, tax or means of payment
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a condition type that is not valid for discounts, taxes, or means of payment is assigned or used in a pricing procedure or document where such condition types are expected to be of a specific category.
  In SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) or Financial Accounting (FI), condition types are categorized by their usage, such as:
  
  Discounts/Surcharges (e.g., condition types that reduce or increase the price)
  Taxes (e.g., VAT, sales tax)
  Means of Payment (e.g., cash discount conditions)
  
  If a condition type is assigned or used in a context where only discount, tax, or means of payment condition types are allowed, but the condition type does not belong to these categories, the system throws this error.
  
  Typical Scenarios
  
  Assigning a condition type that is not flagged as discount, tax, or means of payment in the pricing procedure.
  Using a condition type in a billing document or sales order that is expected to be a discount or tax condition type but is not configured as such.
  Incorrect configuration in the condition type master data (e.g., missing or wrong condition category).
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Condition Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction V/06 (Maintain Condition Types).
  Verify the Condition Category of the condition type in question.
  
  For discounts, the category should be D (Discount).
  For taxes, the category should be T (Tax).
  For means of payment, the category should be P (Payment).
  
  
  If the condition type is incorrectly categorized, correct it or use a valid condition type.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Go to transaction V/08 (Maintain Pricing Procedures).
  Verify that the condition type is assigned correctly in the pricing procedure and is used in the appropriate step for discounts, taxes, or means of payment.
  
  
  
  Check Document Type and Application:
  
  Ensure that the document type (sales order, billing document) expects the condition type category you are using.
  For example, billing documents expect tax condition types to be of category T.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Condition Types:
  
  Replace the invalid condition type with a valid one that matches the required category.
  
  
  
  Check Access Sequences and Condition Records:
  
  Sometimes, the condition records or access sequences might be pointing to wrong condition types.
