  The SAP error message /PM0/ABB_MESSAGES206 indicates that the shares of all payment recipients in a payment transaction must total 100%. This error typically arises in scenarios where multiple payment recipients are involved, such as in payment processing or distribution of funds.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the sum of the shares assigned to each payment recipient does not equal 100%. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Share Distribution: The shares assigned to each recipient may have been entered incorrectly, leading to a total that is less than or greater than 100%.
  Missing Recipients: If a recipient is missing from the distribution, the total share may not reach 100%.
  Rounding Issues: If shares are calculated based on percentages and rounding is applied, it may lead to a total that does not equal 100%.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Share Distribution:
  
  Go to the payment transaction where the error occurred.
  Review the share percentages assigned to each payment recipient.
  Ensure that the total of all shares equals 100%.
  
  
  
  Adjust Shares:
  
  If the total is less than or greater than 100%, adjust the shares accordingly. You may need to increase or decrease the shares of one or more recipients to ensure the total equals 100%.
  
  
  
  Add Missing Recipients:
  
  If you find that a recipient is missing from the distribution, add them and assign the appropriate share to ensure the total reaches 100%.
  
  
  
  Review Rounding:
  
  If shares are calculated based on percentages, check if rounding is affecting the total. You may need to adjust the shares to account for rounding.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
