  The SAP error message GA797, which states "Maximum of 9999 receiver weighting factors possible," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when dealing with activity allocation or distribution processes. This error indicates that the system has reached the maximum limit of 9999 receiver weighting factors that can be assigned in a single allocation or distribution run.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by attempting to allocate costs or resources to more than 9999 receivers in a single allocation run. Each receiver can have a weighting factor, and if the total number of receivers exceeds this limit, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:

  Review Receiver Assignment: Check if all the receivers are necessary for the allocation. If there are any receivers that can be excluded or consolidated, do so to reduce the total count.
  
  
  Use Alternative Allocation Methods: Depending on your business process, you might explore using different allocation methods or techniques that do not require as many receivers.
  
  
  Adjust Weighting Factors: If applicable, review the weighting factors assigned to each receiver. Ensure that they are correctly set and that there are no unnecessary entries.
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help resources for any specific guidelines or best practices related to your version of SAP and the allocation process you are using.
