This typically occurs in scenarios involving commission calculations, where multiple agents or parties are involved in a transaction, and their respective participation percentages must total 100%.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The participation percentages for the follow-up commission agents may not have been configured correctly in the system.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be manual entry errors in the commission agent records, leading to incorrect percentages.
  Missing Agents: If there are agents that should be included in the calculation but are not, this can lead to the total not equaling 100%.
  Business Logic Issues: The business logic defined for calculating commissions may not be correctly implemented, leading to discrepancies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Participation Percentages: Review the participation percentages assigned to each follow-up commission agent involved in the transaction. Ensure that they sum up to 100%.
  Update Configuration: If the configuration is incorrect, update the commission agent settings in the SAP system to reflect the correct participation percentages.

  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like V/08 (for maintaining condition records) or V/06 (for maintaining pricing procedures) to check and update commission settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on handling commission calculations.
  User Exits or BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented, review any user exits or BAdIs that may affect commission calculations to ensure they are functioning as intended.
