This error indicates that the sum of the percentages you have entered does not equal 100%, which is a requirement for the system to process the transaction correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Percentage Entries: The most common cause is that the user has entered percentages that do not sum up to 100%. For example, if you enter 30%, 40%, and 20%, the total is 90%, which will trigger this error.
  Missing Entries: If you have not entered a percentage for one or more required fields, the total will also not equal 100%.

  Solution:
  
  Check Entries: Review the percentage values you have entered. Ensure that they add up to exactly 100%. You can use a calculator or spreadsheet to verify the total.
  Adjust Percentages: If the total is less than or greater than 100%, adjust the individual percentages accordingly until they sum to 100%.
  Add Missing Percentages: If you have omitted any required percentage entries, make sure to fill those in.
  Rounding Considerations: If you are dealing with decimal percentages, ensure that the rounding does not affect the total. You may need to adjust the values slightly to ensure they sum to 100%.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the required percentages or how to enter them, consult the relevant SAP documentation or user guides for your specific module.
