• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message V1073 - Enter a lower probablility ?

  The SAP error message V1073, which states "Enter a lower probability," typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) when dealing with sales forecasts, sales orders, or similar transactions that involve probability percentages. This error indicates that the probability value entered exceeds the acceptable limit set in the system.

  Adjust the Value: If the value exceeds the maximum limit, adjust it to a lower percentage that complies with the system's requirements.
  Review Configuration Settings: If you believe the probability value you are trying to enter is valid, consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to review the configuration settings related to probability values in your SAP system.
