Cash discount has the wrong format

What this is about

XRechnung has no discount field. A cash discount is a fixed line in the payment terms (BT-20): “#SKONTO#TAGE=14#PROZENT=2.00#” — one entry per line, free text only before it. Anything else is rejected.

What to do

Enter the discount through the discount fields instead of free text; other notes go before it.
