  The SAP error message OIJ_3WP123 indicates that there is a deviation percentage that exceeds the allowed amendment tolerance for a specific work process or transaction. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Oil and Gas (OIJ) when dealing with work processes related to inventory management, production, or financial transactions.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the deviation percentage calculated for a specific transaction (e.g., a work order, inventory adjustment, etc.) exceeds the predefined tolerance limit set in the system. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:

  System Configuration: The amendment tolerance settings may be too strict or not aligned with the actual business processes.

  Review the Transaction: Check the specific transaction that triggered the error. Look for any discrepancies in the data entered, such as quantities, prices, or other relevant fields.

  Consult with Stakeholders: If the deviation is legitimate (e.g., due to changes in market conditions or operational processes), consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., finance, operations) to determine if the tolerance levels need to be revised.
  
  
  Correct Data: If the error is due to incorrect data entry, correct the data and attempt the transaction again.
  
  
  Documentation and Training: Ensure that users are trained on the correct data entry procedures and that there is documentation available to minimize future errors.
