• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OIURV018 - Record cannot be approved, Bearer Group does not total to 100% on &. ?

  The SAP error message OIURV018 indicates that a record cannot be approved because the Bearer Group does not total to 100%. This error typically occurs in the context of managing financial transactions or allocations where the distribution of amounts across different bearer groups (or categories) must sum to a total of 100%.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the sum of the percentages assigned to the various bearer groups does not equal 100%. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Data Entry: Users may have entered percentages that do not add up to 100%.
  Missing Entries: Some bearer groups may not have been assigned a percentage, leading to an incomplete total.
  Rounding Issues: If percentages are calculated based on amounts, rounding errors may lead to a total that is slightly off from 100%.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the OIURV018 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Bearer Group Entries: Check the entries for the bearer groups associated with the record. Ensure that all groups have been assigned a percentage.
  
  
  Calculate Total Percentage: Manually sum the percentages of all bearer groups. If the total is not 100%, adjust the percentages accordingly.
  
  
  Adjust Percentages: If you find that the total is less than or greater than 100%, adjust the percentages of the bearer groups to ensure they total exactly 100%. 
  
  
  Check for Rounding: If the percentages are derived from amounts, check for any rounding issues that may have caused the total to deviate from 100%.
  
  
  Re-approve the Record: After making the necessary adjustments, attempt to approve the record again.
  
  
  Related Information:
