• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 69857 - Total of percent.rates is not equal to 100 for ownership share type & ?

  The SAP error message 69857, which states "Total of percent.rates is not equal to 100 for ownership share type &," typically occurs in the context of managing ownership shares in SAP, particularly in modules related to asset accounting or investment management. This error indicates that the sum of the percentage rates for a specific ownership share type does not equal 100%, which is a requirement for proper configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Percentage Allocation: The ownership share types have been defined with percentage rates that do not sum up to 100%. For example, if you have three ownership types with rates of 40%, 30%, and 20%, the total would be 90%, which is incorrect.
  Missing Ownership Share Types: If there are ownership share types that should be included but are missing, the total may not reach 100%.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the configuration of ownership shares can lead to incorrect percentages.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Ownership Share Types: Go to the configuration settings for ownership share types in SAP and review the percentage rates assigned to each type. Ensure that the total equals 100%.
  Adjust Percentages: If the total is not 100%, adjust the percentages accordingly. You may need to add or modify existing ownership share types to ensure the total is correct.
  Check for Missing Entries: Ensure that all relevant ownership share types are included in the configuration. If any are missing, add them with the appropriate percentage rates.
  Validation: After making adjustments, validate the configuration to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like OAOA (for Asset Accounting) or similar, depending on your specific SAP module.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to ownership share types and asset accounting for detailed guidance on configuration.
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the ownership share calculations are functioning correctly and that the error message does not appear again.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the relevant module.
