  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS130 - Term of payment default &1 not permitted for single document ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WS130 - Term of payment default &1 not permitted for single document


    Cause:

    This error occurs when the system tries to use a default term of payment that is not allowed for a single document posting. In SAP, terms of payment can be configured to be valid either for single documents or for payment lots (collective payments). If the default term of payment is set to be valid only for payment lots but is used in a single document posting, the system throws this error.

    In other words, the term of payment assigned as default is restricted in its usage and cannot be applied to individual invoice or document postings.


    Explanation:

    • Term of Payment (T/P) in SAP controls the payment due date calculation and cash discount terms.
    • Each term of payment has a flag indicating whether it is valid for:
      • Single document postings
      • Payment lots (collective payments)
    • If the default term of payment is configured only for payment lots, but a single document posting tries to use it, SAP raises WS130.

    How to Check:

    1. Go to transaction OBB8 (Define Terms of Payment).
    2. Select the term of payment mentioned in the error message (the &1 placeholder).
    3. Check the indicator "Valid for single document" or similar flag.
    4. If this flag is not set, the term of payment cannot be used for single document postings.

    Solution:

    • Option 1: Change the term of payment configuration to allow it for single document postings.
      • In transaction OBB8, edit the term of payment.
      • Set the flag "Valid for single document" (or equivalent) to active.
      • Save the changes.
    • Option 2: Use a different term of payment that is valid for single document postings.
    • Option 3: Adjust the default term of payment in the customer/vendor master or document posting to a valid one.

    Additional Notes:

    • This error often appears during invoice posting (FB60, FB70) or vendor/customer document entry.
    • It can also occur during automatic postings or when default values are derived from master data.
    • Always ensure that the terms of payment assigned as defaults are consistent with the posting scenario.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error WS130 - Term of payment default &1 not permitted for single document
