• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/CCK_TOLERANCE101 - Tolerance cannot exceed 100% in either direction ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/CCK_TOLERANCE101 Tolerance cannot exceed 100% in either direction typically occurs in the context of controlling or financial processes, particularly when dealing with cost center accounting or internal orders. This error indicates that the tolerance limit set for a particular cost object (like a cost center or internal order) has been exceeded, either positively or negatively.
  Cause:
  
  Tolerance Settings: The tolerance limits for variances in costs or revenues have been set to a maximum of 100%. If the actual costs deviate from the planned costs by more than 100%, this error will be triggered.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry or misconfiguration in the cost planning or budgeting process can lead to situations where the actual costs exceed the allowable tolerance.
  Configuration Issues: The settings in the controlling area or the specific cost object may not be aligned with the business requirements, leading to overly strict tolerance limits.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Tolerance Settings: Check the tolerance settings for the relevant cost center or internal order. You may need to adjust the tolerance limits to allow for greater variances if your business processes require it.
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings in SAP for controlling (transaction code: OKEQ for cost centers or OIA1 for internal orders) and review the tolerance limits.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: Ensure that the data entered for costs and revenues is accurate. If there are discrepancies, correct them to bring the actual costs within the allowable tolerance range.
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the appropriate tolerance levels, consult with your finance or controlling team to understand the business requirements and adjust the settings accordingly.
  
  
  Check for Configuration Issues: If the error persists, it may be necessary to review the overall configuration of the controlling area and related settings to ensure they are set up correctly.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on tolerance settings and their implications in cost accounting.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OKEQ (Cost Center Planning) and OIA1 (Internal Order Planning) for managing tolerances.
  User Exits and BAdIs: In some cases, custom logic may be implemented through user exits or BAdIs that could affect how tolerances are handled. Review any custom developments if applicable.
  
  By addressing the cause of the error and implementing the suggested solutions, you should be able to resolve the tolerance issue in SAP.
