  Adjust Allocation: If you need to allocate funds to multiple areas, consider adjusting the percentages so that they total 100% or less. For example, if you have three allocations of 40%, 30%, and 40%, you need to adjust them to fit within the 100% limit.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you believe the input values are correct, check the configuration settings in the Funds Management module. Ensure that the settings allow for the intended fund shifts and that there are no restrictions causing this error.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on fund shifts and allocations. This can provide insights into any additional constraints or requirements.
