  The SAP error message OIJ_3WP124 indicates that there is a deviation percentage that is less than the specified amendment tolerance for a particular transaction or operation. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Oil and Gas (OIJ) when dealing with work processes or transactions that involve amendments to quantities or values.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when the deviation percentage calculated for a specific operation (e.g., a work order or a transaction) falls below the defined amendment tolerance threshold. This can happen due to:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Deviation Calculation: Check the values involved in the transaction to understand how the deviation percentage is being calculated. Ensure that the data is accurate and reflects the intended values.

  Consult Business Requirements: Ensure that the amendment tolerance aligns with the business requirements. If necessary, discuss with stakeholders to determine if the tolerance levels need to be revised.
  
  
  Check for Updates or Patches: Sometimes, errors can be related to bugs in the software. Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates.
  
  
  Test in a Development Environment: If changes are made to the configuration, test them in a development or quality assurance environment before applying them to production.
