Hi,

I understand there are a few posts with this subject. However they are not being helpful to me at the moment..

When i try to post a invoice cancellation with BAPI i get the "System cannot calculate cash discount base amount; enter it" error. When i do it manually i do not see an issue,.

I have given all my inputs fine and still not able to figure out the fault. If i tick CASH DISC IND = X in the line item details, it gives error saying " amount goes negative"invoice2.pnginvoice2.pnginvoice1.png

I understand there are a few posts with this subject. However they are not being helpful to me at the moment.

Kindly request your help.

Thanks

Please explain "they are not helpful" ? How else can we know what you already found and tried to avoid repeating the same suggestions.

It would also be helpful to tell the name of the BAPI, it seems obvious for some people, but we had already questions where people tried to use the BAPI for material master creation to post material movements.

Have you already tried the case in the normal transaction? Did it work there?

Do you even use cash discounts in this business case?

Have you seen the long text of the error message (which is FF711 and the long text can be seen in transaction SE91)?

Have you already searched for OSS notes, e.g. this note 872130 - Problem determining cash discount base: F5 172,FF 729,FF 711 explains some design issues which prevent the system from finding the cash discount base.
