Term Of Payment SRC1 is Missing

For term of pmnt SRC1, holdback/retainage no. 01 is missing Message no. FC255:

System Diagnosis:

You must specify the holdback/retainage numbers without gaps for each term of payment. 
You have created the holdback/retainage number 03 for the term of payment SRC1, but not the holdback/retainage number 01 below it. 

Procedure 

Fill the gap in the holdback/retainage numbers for the term of payment SRC1 or delete the entry for the holdback/retainage number 03. 
When selecting the Installment payment, it gives error, Do not enter any terms for holdback/retainage terms of payment. 
Why can't I enter any terms for holdback/retainage terms of payment?

---

The management of payment terms have to be managed as following: 

1) In OBB8 you create main pmt term and you pick up the flag for holdback/reitenage.

2) In OBB8 you create specific pmt terms related to each part of main pmt method.

3) In OBB9 you specify the connection between main and secondary pmt methods,

The errors seems indicate that there is a gap in OBB9 (you indicated nr. 03 without specify the number 01). 

You can do the followings:

Use T Code OBB8

1. Create a payment term IN01 (stands for installment number 01). 

Use the posting date as the base line date . 

Under the payment terms (term 1) add 90 as the No. of days and save. 
 

2. Create a payment term IN02 (stands for installment number 02). 

Use the posting date as the base line date . 

Under the payment terms (term 1) add 120 as the No. of days and save. 
 

3. Create a payment term INST (Installment payment term) 

Select NO DEFAULT as the Base Line Date. *Activate the check box 

Installment Payment* (Do so for this term only, the check box should be left blank in the previous ones namely IN01 and IN02) and save.
 

* Use T Code OBB9

Enter two lines of Code as follows: 

INST 1 60,000 IN01 

INST 2 40,000 IN02 

Save 

Your Payment Term INST Would work beautifully ( I used the terms IN01, IN02 and INST.....you can use SRC1, SRC2 and SRC3 or anything for that matter as suits you.
