This error indicates that the sum of the Non-Resident Interest (NRI) or the Gross Revenue Interest (GRI) for a particular ownership structure does not equal 1, which is a requirement for valid ownership entries.

  Review Ownership Entries: Check the ownership entries for the DOI items associated with the specified Effective From Date. Ensure that all entries are present and correctly calculated.

  Add Missing Entries: If there are any missing ownership entries that should be included, add them to ensure the total ownership is complete.
  Validate Data: Use transaction codes like OI66 (for ownership) or similar to validate the ownership data and ensure it is correctly set up.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines specific to your organization’s implementation for any additional rules or configurations that may apply.
