Symptom
In the app "Upload Customer Open Items" (App ID: F4051), during check the system raises error "System cannot calculate cash discount base amount; enter it." (FF 711).
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the app "Upload Customer Open Items".
- Upload the template file.
- Select the uploaded item(s) and choose 'Check' button.
- The error "System cannot calculate cash discount base amount; enter it" is shown when reviewing the check result.
Cause
- Incorrect filling of debit/credit indicator in the upload file.
- Or a tax code is entered on the customer (header) item while G/L line items have a different tax code, which excludes those different tax codes when determining the cash discount base amounts and triggers the error.
Resolution
- Double-check that the correct value has been entered in the "Debit/Credit (1) S=Debit; H=Credit" field (column DEBITCREDITCODE) in the 'G/L Account Items' section of the template.
For example, if the item is a credit but S is entered by mistake. - In the upload template, remove the "Tax Code" (column TAXCODE) from the 'Header Data' section.
Then the G/L line items may retain their respective tax codes; avoid setting a conflicting header tax code when line items use different tax codes.
