• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CEERE/DM191 - The sum of the units' areas cannot be equal to the total area ?

  The SAP error message /CEERE/DM191 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the sum of the individual units' areas and the total area defined in the system. This error typically arises in the context of real estate management or property management modules within SAP, where areas of different units (like apartments or offices) need to be accurately summed to match a total area.
  Cause:
  
  Data Entry Errors: The most common cause is incorrect data entry where the individual unit areas do not sum up to the total area.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the area definitions or the way areas are calculated in the system.
  Missing Units: Some units may not have been included in the area calculation, leading to a mismatch.
  Changes in Area: If the area of one or more units has been changed after the total area was defined, this can lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Unit Areas: Check the individual areas of all units involved. Ensure that the sum of these areas matches the total area defined in the system.
  Correct Data: If discrepancies are found, correct the area values for the units or the total area as necessary.
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings related to area calculations in the SAP system to ensure they are set up correctly.
  Check for Missing Units: Ensure that all relevant units are included in the area calculation. If any units are missing, add them to the calculation.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling area calculations in your version of SAP.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use specific transaction codes related to real estate management (like RECN or REIS) to access the relevant data.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that might address known issues or bugs related to area calculations.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to make changes to area data in the system.
  Testing: After making corrections, perform tests to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the area calculations are functioning as expected.
