• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPELUICUST000 - The sum of container sizes can total a maximum of 100% ?

  The SAP error message PPELUICUST000 indicates that the total size of the containers in a particular configuration exceeds the allowed maximum of 100%. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or similar modules where product configurations are defined using containers (like characteristics or options).
  Cause:
  The error is caused when the sum of the sizes of all the containers (or characteristics) defined for a product exceeds 100%. This can happen if:
  
  The individual sizes of the containers are incorrectly defined.

  The configuration logic is not set up correctly, leading to an incorrect total.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Container Sizes:

  Adjust Container Sizes:
  
  If the total exceeds 100%, you will need to adjust the sizes of the individual containers. This may involve reducing the size of some containers or removing unnecessary ones.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration Logic:
  
  Review the configuration logic to ensure that it is set up correctly. This includes checking dependencies and constraints that may affect the total size calculation.
  
  
  
  Test Configuration:
  
  After making adjustments, test the configuration again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
