• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06619 - Percentage basis entered not always used ?

  The SAP error message 06619, "Percentage basis entered not always used," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with percentage-based calculations in pricing, discounts, or other financial entries. This error indicates that the system has detected a discrepancy or inconsistency in how percentage values are being applied or calculated.
  Cause:
  
  
  Inconsistent Percentage Basis: The percentage basis entered in the transaction may not align with the expected or required basis for the calculation.

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that dictate how percentage calculations should be handled. If these settings are not aligned with the transaction data, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors, such as entering a percentage where a fixed amount is expected, can trigger this message.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the materials, customers, or vendors involved in the transaction may not be set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies in how percentages are applied.
