How To Fix KD041 - Total = &1%, &3, period &2, source assignment &4

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KD - CO Settlement

• Message number: 041

• Message text: Total = &1%, &3, period &2, source assignment &4

What causes this issue?

You entered distribution rules which settle &V1&% in total. This
applies to view/version/settlement type &V3& and source assignment &V4&
in period &V2&.
When checking the percentage total, the system found one of the
following errors:
The total percentage for the distribution rules is greater than 100%
The total percentage for the distribution rules is less than 100% and
this is a rule for full settlement (settlement type FUL).
The total percentage for the distribution rules is less than 100% and
the 100% check is switched on in the settlement profile.
If you are using a source structure and source assignment " ", note the
following:

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Source assignment " " is assigned to all possible origin assignments in
the structure you are using. This is even if you did not specifically
use the corresponding source assignment.
Example:
Source assignments (SA) A and B are defined in your structure. You
specified two rules:
SA ' ' 70%
SA 'A' 30%
The system outputs an error message for OA "B" because this only
displays 70% (from SA " ").

How to fix this error?

If you are settling using fixed amounts you can ignore this message.
The settlement then checks whether the settlement sender is fully
credited.
Otherwise, correct the percentages for settlement type &V3& and source
assignment &V4&, so that you are settling exactly 100% in period &V2&.
If you do not have full settlement rules, you can switch off the 100%
check in the settlement profile. This procedure also suppresses the
message in future.
<ZH>Note</>
If you cannot find any fields where you can enter percentage values,
this is probably because the settlement profile is configured to hide
them. Switch on percentage settlement in the settlement profile.
Alternatively you can use equivalence numbers for your rules, if the
project profile allows this.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KD041 - Total = &1%, &3, period &2, source assignment &4 ?

  The SAP error message KD041 typically indicates an issue with the assignment of costs in the Controlling (CO) module, specifically related to the distribution of costs in a cost center or internal order. The message format includes placeholders for specific values, which can help identify the context of the error.
  Cause:
  The error message KD041 is generally triggered when the total percentage of costs assigned to a particular cost object (like a cost center or internal order) does not equal 100%. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Distribution Percentages: The sum of the distribution percentages for the cost elements does not add up to 100%.
  Missing Assignments: Some cost elements may not have been assigned a percentage, leading to an incomplete distribution.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when inputting percentages or cost assignments.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KD041 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Distribution Percentages:
  
  Go to the relevant cost object (cost center, internal order, etc.) and review the distribution percentages assigned to each cost element.
  Ensure that the total of these percentages equals 100%.
  
  
  
  Adjust Assignments:
  
  If you find that the percentages do not add up to 100%, adjust them accordingly. You may need to add or modify the percentages to ensure they total 100%.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, check the configuration settings in the Controlling module to ensure that the distribution rules are set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the cost assignment process relevant to your version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making adjustments, test the changes by running the transaction again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like KSU5 (for cost center planning) or KSV5 (for internal order planning) to review and adjust cost assignments.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on handling this error.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to cost assignments in the system.
  
  If the problem continues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in the Controlling module for further assistance.
