• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/CCK_TOLERANCE017 - Enter percentage range, absolute value, and UoM ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/CCK_TOLERANCE017 typically occurs in the context of configuring tolerance limits for cost center accounting or internal orders. This error indicates that the system requires you to enter a percentage range, an absolute value, and a unit of measure (UoM) for the tolerance settings.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the required fields for defining tolerances are not filled in correctly or are missing. Specifically, the system expects:
  
  A percentage range that defines the acceptable variance.
  An absolute value that specifies a fixed monetary limit.
  A unit of measure that indicates the currency or measurement unit for the absolute value.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Access the Tolerance Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area in SAP where you are setting up tolerances (e.g., transaction code OKEQ for cost center accounting).
  
  
  
  Enter Required Fields:
  
  Ensure that you fill in the following fields:
  
  Percentage Range: Specify the acceptable percentage variance.
  Absolute Value: Enter a fixed monetary limit (e.g., in your local currency).
  Unit of Measure (UoM): Select the appropriate unit of measure for the absolute value (e.g., currency).
  
  
  
  
  
  Check for Valid Entries:
  
  Make sure that the values you enter are valid and within acceptable ranges. For example, the percentage should be a realistic figure (e.g., between 0% and 100%).
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After entering the required information, save your changes and exit the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer appears and that the tolerances are functioning as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OKEQ (for cost center accounting) or OKEP (for internal orders) to navigate the configuration settings.
