• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GA155 - The sender percentage must equal 100% in cumulated allocation. ?

  The SAP error message GA155, which states "The sender percentage must equal 100% in cumulated allocation," typically occurs during the process of executing a cost allocation in SAP, particularly in the context of internal orders, cost centers, or profit centers. This error indicates that the total percentage of the sender cost objects (from which costs are being allocated) does not sum up to 100%. 
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Allocation Percentages: The percentages assigned to the sender cost objects do not add up to 100%. For example, if you have three cost centers with allocation percentages of 50%, 30%, and 20%, the total is 100%, but if they were 50%, 30%, and 25%, it would trigger this error.
  
  
  Missing Sender Objects: If there are sender objects that are supposed to be included in the allocation but are missing or not properly configured, it can lead to an incorrect total percentage.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the allocation structure or the allocation cycle that prevent the percentages from being calculated correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Allocation Percentages: Review the allocation percentages assigned to each sender object in the allocation cycle. Ensure that they sum up to exactly 100%. Adjust any incorrect percentages.
  
  
  Review Sender Objects: Ensure that all relevant sender objects are included in the allocation. If any sender objects are missing, add them and ensure their percentages are set correctly.
  
  
  Configuration Review: If the issue persists, review the configuration of the allocation cycle in the SAP system. Check for any inconsistencies or errors in the setup that might affect the calculation of percentages.
  
  
  Test Allocation: After making adjustments, test the allocation process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the configuration or allocation process, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a colleague who has experience with SAP controlling (CO) modules.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as KSU5 (for executing the allocation) or KSV5 (for displaying the allocation) to check and modify allocation settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to this error message.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to allocation cycles and percentages in the SAP system.
