GK562
- The method requires a proportion greater than zero ?The SAP error message GK562, which states "The method requires a proportion greater than zero," typically occurs in the context of cost allocation or internal order management within SAP. This error indicates that a method or process that requires a proportional value (such as a percentage or ratio) has been provided with a value of zero or a negative number, which is not acceptable.
Cause: Incorrect Configuration: The allocation method or calculation method may be incorrectly configured, leading to a zero or negative proportion. Data Entry Error: A user may have inadvertently entered a zero or negative value in the relevant fields during data entry. Missing Master Data: Required master data (like cost centers, internal orders, etc.) may not be set up correctly, leading to issues in calculations. Business Logic: The business logic defined in the system may require a minimum threshold for proportions, and the current setup does not meet this requirement.
