In SAP ERP, the cash discount base calculation depends on the configuration in the condition techniques used in pricing and invoicing. Typically, as you have already mentioned, the cash discount basis should be the gross amount of the invoice, unless business processes or specific industry requirements dictate otherwise. Here are some steps and areas you can check to ensure that the cash discount basis is calculated as desired: 1. Condition schema: Check the condition schema used in pricing for the affected invoice type. You can do this in Customizing under: - SPRO → Sales → Sales → Pricing → Control pricing → Determine condition schema and maintain condition schemas 2. Condition category for cash discount: There should be a specific condition category for cash discount within the condition schema. Make sure that this type is configured correctly, especially with regard to which base value calculation is used - Check the definition of the condition type under: - SPRO → Sales → Sales → Pricing → Control pricing → Determine condition types → Maintain condition type 3. Base value: The base value formula for the cash discount calculation should be set so that it only takes into account the gross value of the invoice. Sometimes user-defined calculation routines can be implemented that change the basis for cash discount variances. These can be found under: - SPRO → Sales → Sales → Pricing → Control pricing → Determine and maintain calculation schema → Calculation → Maintain formulas 4. Copy rules (optional): If the problem exists when transferring data from orders to invoices, you should also check the copy rules to ensure that no additional values are included in the cash discount base amount.
- SPRO → Sales → Sales → Document → Invoice → Copy control for documents → From sales document to invoice If you have made individual adjustments or use special price calculations, you may also need the help of an SAP ABAP developer to check or adjust specific routines. It may also be helpful to analyze the exact business case and all conditions involved in more detail to determine if other factors are influencing the calculation.
