For example, the distribution channel or sales organization has not been maintained, or the employee responsible for entering the goods returned by the customer into the system has not assigned or incorrectly assigned a reference document (sales order or customer invoice) to a customer return item, or the selected values are not valid. 

In this case, the document is inconsistent due to the assigned payment term is deleted in the system. So the value of payment term in the return is invalid, caused the document incorrect.
