  Error Message: WS410 - Cash discount is greater than net value of goods
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during invoice verification or posting when the cash discount amount entered exceeds the net value of the goods on the invoice. In other words, the system checks the cash discount amount against the net value (value of goods minus any other deductions) and finds that the discount is not logically possible because it is greater than the amount of the goods themselves.
  This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect manual entry of cash discount amount or percentage.
  Incorrect pricing or conditions in the invoice.
  Data entry errors where the discount is mistakenly input as a higher value.
  Currency or rounding issues causing the discount to appear larger than the net value.
  Incorrect condition records or pricing procedure setup.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Invoice Data:
  
  Verify the net value of goods on the invoice.
  Check the cash discount amount or percentage entered.
  Ensure that the discount does not exceed the net value.
  
  
  
  Correct the Cash Discount:
  
  Adjust the cash discount amount or percentage to be less than or equal to the net value of goods.
  If the discount is entered manually, correct the input.
  If the discount is calculated automatically, check the pricing conditions.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure and Condition Records:
  
  Check the pricing procedure assigned to the vendor and document type.
  Verify condition records for cash discount (e.g., SKTO, SKTO1) to ensure they are correct.
  Make sure that the conditions are not set to give a discount greater than the net value.
  
  
  
  Currency and Rounding:
  
  Check if currency differences or rounding errors are causing the discount to exceed the net value.
  Adjust rounding rules or currency settings if necessary.
