• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M7639 - For plant &, the total of all percentages is &% instead of 100% ?

  The SAP error message M7639 indicates that there is an issue with the percentage distribution of components in a bill of materials (BOM) or a similar configuration in the system. Specifically, it states that the total of all percentages for a given plant does not equal 100%. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when defining the components of a product, setting up production orders, or managing inventory.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Percentage Values: The most common cause is that the sum of the percentage values assigned to the components in the BOM or recipe does not equal 100%. This can happen if:
  
  Some components have been added or removed without adjusting the percentages.
  There are typographical errors in the percentage values.
  Components have been defined with incorrect percentages.
  
  
  
  Missing Components: If certain components are missing from the BOM or recipe, the remaining components may not add up to 100%.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the material master or BOM settings that lead to incorrect percentage calculations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM/Recipe: Review the BOM or recipe for the affected plant. Ensure that all components are listed and that their percentage values add up to exactly 100%. Adjust any incorrect values as necessary.
  
  
  Adjust Percentages: If you find that the total percentage is less than or greater than 100%, adjust the individual component percentages accordingly to ensure they sum to 100%.
  
  
  Validate Components: Ensure that all components that should be included in the percentage distribution are present in the BOM. If any components are missing, add them and adjust the percentages.
  
  
  Use SAP Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like CS02 (Change BOM) or CS03 (Display BOM) to view and edit the BOM details.
  
  
  Check for Warnings/Errors: After making adjustments, check for any warnings or errors that may still exist in the system. This can help identify if there are other underlying issues.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM Structure: Understanding the structure of a BOM and how components are defined is crucial for resolving this error.
