• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ALB_MESSAGES104 - The total for the share values must equal exactly 100 % ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ALB_MESSAGES104 indicates that the total of the share values entered in a particular transaction or configuration must equal exactly 100%. This error typically occurs in scenarios where you are defining allocations, such as in profit center accounting, internal orders, or other financial allocations where percentages are used to distribute costs or revenues.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the sum of the share values (percentages) you have entered does not equal 100%. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrectly entered values (e.g., 30%, 30%, 30% totals 90%).
  Missing values (e.g., if you have only entered values for some of the shares).
  Typographical errors in the percentage values.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Review the Share Values: Go back to the screen where you entered the share values and check each entry. Ensure that all values are correctly entered and that they sum up to 100%.
  
  
  Adjust Values: If the total is less than or greater than 100%, adjust the individual share values accordingly. You may need to increase or decrease some values to ensure they total exactly 100%.
  
  
  Check for Missing Entries: Ensure that you have not missed entering any share values. If there are multiple entries, make sure all required fields are filled.
  
  
  Recalculate: If you are using a formula or calculation to derive the share values, double-check the calculations to ensure they are correct.
  
  
  Validation: After making adjustments, validate the entries again to confirm that they now total 100%.

  User Exits or BAdIs: If you are using custom logic (user exits or BAdIs) that modifies share values, ensure that the logic is functioning correctly and not inadvertently causing the error.
