  Incorrect or inconsistent configuration of discount conditions or pricing procedures.
  Data inconsistencies in the contract or billing document where the apportioned discount is applied.
  Custom enhancements or user exits incorrectly calculating or passing discount values.
  Integration issues where discount values are transferred between systems or modules and get corrupted or misinterpreted.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Discount Value:

  Analyze the Billing Document or Contract Data:
