• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_ALLOC028 - Tolerance percentage not met ?

  The SAP error message GHO_ALLOC028, which states "Tolerance percentage not met," typically occurs in the context of allocation processes, such as during the allocation of costs or resources in SAP. This error indicates that the allocation process has encountered a situation where the actual allocation does not meet the predefined tolerance percentage set in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Tolerance Settings: The tolerance percentage is a configuration setting that defines the acceptable range of deviation for allocations. If the actual allocation deviates from the expected allocation by more than the defined tolerance percentage, this error will be triggered.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry or misconfiguration in the allocation parameters can lead to discrepancies that exceed the tolerance limits.
  Changes in Allocation Basis: If the basis for allocation (e.g., cost centers, internal orders) has changed, it may lead to unexpected results that do not meet the tolerance criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Tolerance Settings: Check the tolerance percentage settings in the configuration. You may need to adjust the tolerance percentage to allow for greater deviations if appropriate for your business processes.
  
  This can typically be found in the configuration settings under the relevant allocation or cost accounting module.
  
  
  
  Validate Input Data: Ensure that all input data for the allocation process is accurate and complete. Look for any discrepancies in the data that could lead to the error.
  
  
  Check Allocation Basis: Review the allocation basis and ensure that it is correctly defined. If there have been recent changes, verify that they are correctly reflected in the allocation process.
  
  
  Run Test Allocations: Conduct test allocations with different parameters to identify if the issue persists and to understand the impact of the tolerance settings.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the allocation process and tolerance settings.
  
  
  Engage with SAP Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance. They can provide insights based on the specific configuration and version of your SAP system.
