  Adjust Cash Discount Settings:
  
  If you want to apply cash discounts, ensure that all relevant line items are set to include cash discounts.
  If you do not want to apply cash discounts, remove any cash discount settings from all line items.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction Code: If you are using a specific transaction code (like FB60 for vendor invoices), ensure that you are following the correct procedure for entering cash discounts.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for guidance on how to properly set cash discounts in your specific version of SAP.
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings: If you have access to configuration settings, check the settings related to cash discounts in the Financial Accounting (FI) module to ensure they are set up correctly.
