What causes this issue?

You have tried to change the share of a <DS:DE.JV_PART>partner</> which
was entered for <DS:RE.RGJVGE01>equity adjustment</> purpose. The share
of this partner was 0%.

System Response

If equity adjustment takes place in a way that the new
<DS:DE.JV_EGROUP>equity group</> has a partner which was previously not
in the group, it is necessary to add this partner to the old group with
a share of 0%. The reason for this is that adjustment postings can only
be carried out between partners which exist in both the old and the new
equity group.
However, the <DS:DE.JV_ESHARE>share</> of a partner which was added for
adjustment purpose to the old equity group must be 0% and not be
altered.
