How To Fix GA727 - Sender base in period & is 0; therefore, no allocation is possible

GA727 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: GA - Allocations

• Message number: 727

• Message text: Sender base in period & is 0; therefore, no allocation is possible

What causes this issue?

The total base value for sender &V2& in period &V1& is 0. This value is
derived from the total of all receiver allocation bases.

System Response

It is not possble to distribute the sender value because calculating
the receiver values according to the formula
Sender value X Receiver allocation base / Sender base
would terminate the program. The sender is therefore not credited for
period &V1&

How to fix this error?

Check the definitions of the receiver allocation bases. It is possible
that the negative and positive receiver allocation bases have produced
a base of 0. If this is so, you should see if the base values can be
scaled (with the indicator in the maintenance transaction).
Another reason for this could be that none of the receivers in period
&V1& has a allocation base <> 0.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GA727 - Sender base in period & is 0; therefore, no allocation is possible ?

  The SAP error message GA727 ("Sender base in period & is 0; therefore, no allocation is possible") typically occurs in the context of cost allocation in SAP Controlling (CO) when trying to perform a distribution or assessment cycle. This error indicates that the sender cost center or internal order does not have any costs (or a zero balance) in the specified period, which prevents the allocation from being executed.
  
  Cause:
  
  Zero Balance: The sender cost center or internal order has a zero balance for the specified period. This means there are no costs to allocate.
  Incorrect Period: The period specified in the allocation cycle may not have any relevant postings.
  Allocation Configuration: The allocation cycle may not be set up correctly, or the sender/receiver relationships may not be properly defined.
  Timing Issues: The allocation might be attempted before the actual postings have been made for the period.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Sender Balance: Verify the balance of the sender
