How To Fix AP103 - &1 total of percentages is less than 100%

AP103 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AP - Investment program messages

• Message number: 103

• Message text: &1 total of percentages is less than 100%

What causes this issue?

You have entered percentages for the assignment of a measure to budget
categories. You entered percentages for at least one measure that total
less than 100%.
Using percentages of less than 100% is basically possible, but it means
that the planned and budget values will also be taken into account in
reporting at less than 100%. This effect may be useful and desirable
in certain instances. For example, you may want to check how the
budget categories are exhausted by the actual values that have come due
at the level of the program position, but you do not want to check the
how much of the measure budget is exhausted (or you only want to
check certain budget categories).

How to fix this error?

Check whether you really want the assignment to the budget categories
to total less than 100%. Correct the percentages, if necessary.
