88571 - Details

• The SAP error message 88571, which states "Total of trade levels is > 100%," typically occurs in the context of trade promotions or pricing conditions in SAP. This error indicates that the sum of the trade levels (such as discounts, rebates, or other promotional allowances) exceeds 100%, which is not permissible in the system.
  
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Trade Levels: The most common cause is that multiple trade levels (e.g., discounts or rebates) have been defined for a single transaction, and their combined total exceeds 100%.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue in the pricing procedure or the way trade promotions are set up in the system.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when setting up trade levels can lead to incorrect percentages being assigned.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Trade Levels: Check the trade levels defined for the specific transaction or promotion. Ensure that the total does not exceed 100%. You may need to adjust the percentages accordingly.
