• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_OWNNERSHIP006 - Allocated volume must be greater than zero ?

  The SAP error message GHO_OWNNERSHIP006 indicates that there is an issue with the allocation of a volume in the system, specifically that the allocated volume must be greater than zero. This error typically arises in the context of managing ownership or allocation of resources, such as in logistics, inventory management, or production planning.
  Cause:
  
  
  Zero Allocation: The most direct cause of this error is that the system is attempting to process a transaction where the allocated volume is set to zero. This could happen if:
  
  A user is trying to allocate resources without specifying a quantity.
  There is a misconfiguration in the master data or transaction data that leads to a zero allocation.
  A previous step in the process did not allocate any volume due to business logic or validation rules.
  
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors can lead to situations where the allocated volume is incorrectly set to zero.
  
  
  System Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the relevant modules in SAP that handle inventory or resource allocation.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Allocation Entries: Review the transaction or document that triggered the error. Ensure that the allocated volume is greater than zero. If it is zero, update the entry to reflect the correct allocation.
  
  
  Review Master Data: Check the master data related to the items or resources being allocated. Ensure that all necessary fields are correctly filled out and that there are no inconsistencies.
  
  
  Validate Business Logic: If the error occurs during a specific process, validate the business logic and rules that govern that process. Ensure that all necessary steps are being followed and that the system is configured correctly.
  
  
  User Training: If the error is due to user input, consider providing additional training to users on how to properly enter allocation data.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the transaction or process you are working with.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to identify where the allocation is being set to zero. This may require technical assistance from an SAP developer or consultant.
