• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GA194 - The sum of the percentage rates for the receiver is less than 100% ?

  The SAP error message GA194 indicates that there is an issue with the distribution of costs or revenues among different receivers in a cost allocation process. Specifically, it means that the sum of the percentage rates assigned to the receivers is less than 100%. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when performing internal orders, cost centers, or profit centers allocations.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Percentage Allocation: The percentage rates assigned to the receivers do not add up to 100%. For example, if you have three receivers with percentage allocations of 30%, 40%, and 20%, the total is only 90%.
  Missing Receivers: If you intended to allocate costs to more receivers but did not include them, the total percentage will be less than 100%.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors can lead to incorrect percentage allocations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Percentage Allocations: Check the percentage rates assigned to each receiver in the allocation. Ensure that they sum up to 100%. Adjust the percentages as necessary.
  Add Missing Receivers: If there are additional receivers that should be included in the allocation, add them and adjust the percentages accordingly.
  Correct Data Entry: If the error is due to a data entry mistake, correct the values to ensure they total 100%.
  Use Distribution Rules: If applicable, use distribution rules or templates that automatically calculate and distribute percentages correctly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like KSU5 (for cost center allocations) or KSV5 (for internal orders) to review and adjust allocations.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed instructions on how to set up and manage cost allocations.
  Testing: After making adjustments, perform a test run to ensure that the error does not occur again and that the allocations are processed correctly.
  Consulting with Colleagues: If you are unsure about the correct percentages or allocation methods, consult with colleagues or a financial analyst familiar with the allocation process in your organization.
  
  By addressing the percentage allocation issue, you should be able to resolve the GA194 error and proceed with your cost allocation process.
