    between the planned working time stored for the position and
    accumulated planned working hours of the employee results in an excess
    of more than 999.99% of the value stored for the position. A situation
    like this can arise if very low values (such as zero) are stored for
    the position in the Planned Working Time infotype (1011) and/or very
    large percentage values (for example, more than 100%) have been
    maintained in the relationship records between holder and position. The
    information message serves to inform you that because of the incorrect
    or illogical maintenance of the planned working time parameter or the
    relationship percentage parameter, it is not possible for the system to
    display the correct excess values. It can merely display the maximum
    possible value 999.99%.
