• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AO536 - &1% is distributed - enter a 100% distribution (&2) ?

  The SAP error message AO536 indicates that there is an issue with the distribution of costs or revenues in a particular transaction. Specifically, it means that the distribution percentages entered do not sum up to 100%. This error typically occurs in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA) or when dealing with internal orders, cost centers, or profit centers.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Distribution Percentages: The most common cause is that the user has entered distribution percentages that do not total 100%. For example, if you enter 30% and 50%, the system will throw this error because the total is only 80%.
  Missing Distribution Entries: If you have not entered all the necessary distribution entries, the system will not be able to calculate the total distribution correctly.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that are not set up correctly, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Distribution Percentages: Review the distribution percentages you have entered. Ensure that they add up to exactly 100%. If they do not, adjust the values accordingly.
  Complete All Entries: Make sure that all required distribution entries are filled out. If you are distributing costs across multiple cost centers or internal orders, ensure that each one has a corresponding percentage.
  Review Configuration: If you suspect that the issue may be related to system configuration, consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to review the settings related to asset accounting or cost distribution.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction code for the operation you are trying to perform, as some transactions may have specific requirements for distribution.
