• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FI351 - Total percentage (&) is more than 100 ?

  The SAP error message FI351 ("Total percentage (&) is more than 100") typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with allocations, distributions, or percentage-based calculations in financial documents. This error indicates that the sum of the percentages entered exceeds 100%, which is not permissible in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Percentage Entries: The most common cause is that the user has entered percentages that, when summed, exceed 100%. For example, if you have three line items with percentages of 50%, 30%, and 30%, the total would be 110%, which triggers this error.
  Data Entry Errors: Mistakes during data entry, such as miscalculating or misplacing decimal points, can lead to this issue.
  Configuration Issues: In some cases, the configuration of the financial document or allocation structure may not be set up correctly, leading to unexpected behavior.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Percentage Entries: Check all the percentage values entered in the relevant transaction. Ensure that the total does not exceed 100%. Adjust the percentages as necessary.
  Recalculate Percentages: If the percentages are meant to be proportional, recalculate them to ensure they sum to 100%. You may need to adjust individual percentages accordingly.
  Check for Hidden Entries: Sometimes, there may be hidden or default entries that are not immediately visible. Ensure that all entries are accounted for.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct percentages to enter, refer to the relevant documentation or guidelines for the specific financial process you are working on.
  Configuration Review: If the issue persists and you suspect a configuration problem, consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to review the configuration settings related to the financial document or allocation structure.
