• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VVSCTOOLS002 - Distribution over the periods must amount to 100% ?

  The SAP error message VVSCTOOLS002 indicates that when distributing values over multiple periods, the total distribution must equal 100%. This error typically occurs in the context of planning or budgeting scenarios where values are allocated across different time periods (e.g., months, quarters).
  Cause:
  The error arises when the sum of the distribution percentages for the specified periods does not equal 100%. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Input: The user may have entered distribution percentages that do not add up to 100%.
  Missing Values: Some periods may not have been assigned a distribution percentage, leading to an incomplete total.
  Rounding Issues: If the percentages are calculated automatically, rounding errors might cause the total to fall short of or exceed 100%.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Distribution Percentages:
  
  Review the distribution percentages entered for each period.
  Ensure that the sum of all percentages equals 100%.
  
  
  
  Adjust Values:
  
  If the total is less than 100%, increase the percentages of one or more periods.
  If the total exceeds 100%, decrease the percentages accordingly.
  
  
  
  Fill in Missing Values:
  
  If any periods are missing a distribution percentage, assign appropriate values to ensure all periods are accounted for.
  
  
  
  Rounding Considerations:
  
  If the percentages are calculated, check the rounding settings. Adjust them if necessary to ensure that the total equals 100%.
  
  
  
  Validation:
  
  After making adjustments, validate the distribution again to confirm that the error is resolved.

  User Exits or BAdIs: If you are using custom logic for distribution, check any user exits or BAdIs that might affect the calculation of distribution percentages.
