  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GA068 - Do not enter over 100% for the sender ?

    The SAP error message GA068 ("Do not enter over 100% for the sender") typically occurs in the context of cost allocation or internal order management when the system detects that the total percentage allocation for a sender (such as a cost center or internal order) exceeds 100%. This can happen during processes like distribution, assessment, or when entering data in a transaction that involves percentage-based allocations.

    Cause:

    1. Exceeding Allocation Limits: The most common cause is that the sum of the percentages allocated to various receivers from a single sender exceeds 100%. For example, if you are trying to allocate costs to multiple cost centers and the total percentage exceeds 100%, the system will trigger this error.
    2. Incorrect Data Entry: Manual entry errors where percentages are incorrectly calculated or entered.
    3. Configuration Issues: In some cases, the configuration of the allocation structure may not be set up correctly, leading to this error.

    Solution:

    1. Check Allocation Percentages: Review the allocation percentages for the sender. Ensure that the total does not exceed 100%. If you have multiple receivers, adjust the percentages accordingly.
    2. Adjust Entries: If you find that the percentages are indeed over 100%, modify the entries to ensure they sum up to 100% or less.
    3. Review Configuration: If the issue persists, check the configuration settings related to the allocation structure in your SAP system. Ensure that the settings align with your business processes.
    4. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the transaction or process you are working with.
    5. Seek Help from SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this error or provide additional context or solutions.
    • User Training: Ensure that users involved in cost allocation processes are trained on how to correctly enter percentages and understand the implications of their entries.
