  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Message:
  WS587 - Terms of payment changed from &1 to &2. Adjusting payment key
  
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs during the processing of financial documents (such as vendor invoices or customer payments) when the terms of payment (payment terms) have been changed from one value (&1) to another (&2). Because the payment terms influence the due date and the payment method, SAP automatically adjusts the payment key accordingly to ensure the payment run and clearing processes work correctly.
  In other words, the system detects a discrepancy between the originally entered terms of payment and the current terms of payment, and it updates the payment key to match the new terms.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you change the terms of payment on an invoice or credit memo.
  When the system automatically updates payment terms during document processing.
  During automatic clearing or payment proposal runs where payment terms are recalculated
