  The SAP error message V4136, "Sum of percentages does not add up to 100%. Confirm?" typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) when you are trying to maintain or process a pricing condition record, and the total of the percentage values entered does not equal 100%. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when defining discounts, surcharges, or other percentage-based pricing conditions.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Percentage Values: The most common cause is that the sum of the percentage values entered for a pricing condition does not equal 100%. For example, if you have two discounts of 30% and 40%, the total would be 70%, which is less than 100%.
  
  
  Missing Values: Sometimes, a percentage value might be missing or not entered, leading to an incomplete total.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the pricing procedure that require certain conditions to sum to 100%.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Percentage Values: Review the percentage values you have entered for the pricing conditions. Ensure that they add up to exactly 100%. If you have multiple conditions, adjust the values accordingly.
  
  
  Adjust Conditions: If you have multiple discounts or surcharges, consider redistributing the percentages so that they total 100%. 
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure: If you are unsure about how to set the percentages, check the pricing procedure configuration in the SAP system. You may need to consult with a functional consultant or refer to the documentation for your specific pricing procedure.
  
  
  Confirm Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, confirm the changes to see if the error message persists.
