• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EASIM039 - The sum of all splitting factors must be 1 ?

  The SAP error message EASIM039, which states "The sum of all splitting factors must be 1," typically occurs in the context of account assignment or cost allocation processes, particularly when using the SAP Controlling (CO) module. This error indicates that the total of the splitting factors defined for a particular transaction or allocation does not equal 1. 
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Splitting Factors: The splitting factors assigned to different cost elements or cost centers do not add up to 1. This can happen if:
  
  You have defined multiple splitting factors for a single transaction, and their total is not equal to 1.
  There are missing or incorrectly entered values in the splitting factors.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the allocation structure or the settings in the relevant cost object.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when inputting the splitting factors can lead to this issue.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Splitting Factors: Review the splitting factors assigned to the relevant cost elements or cost centers. Ensure that the sum of all the factors equals 1. For example, if you have three factors of 0.5, 0.3, and 0.2, they should be adjusted to total 1 (e.g., 0.5, 0.3, and 0.2 should be changed to 0.5, 0.3, and 0.2 respectively).
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If the splitting factors are configured in a way that they should sum to 1 but do not, you may need to adjust the configuration settings in the SAP system.
  
  
  Data Validation: Ensure that all data entries are correct and that there are no missing values. If you are using a template or a form, double-check that all fields are filled out correctly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on how to set up and manage splitting factors in your version of SAP.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KSU5 (for cost center planning) or KSV5 (for order planning) where splitting factors might be defined.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the configuration or data entries related to cost allocations.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP CO module configurations.
