SAP Note 18072 - Percentages in pie chart do not corr. to data

Symptom:

A customer analysis was created and sorted in descending order by sales. Value display in percentages.
The printed percentage (performance figure = sales) from the list differs from the percentage of the corresponding graphic (display = pie chart, percentage display).

Cause and prerequisites

Data was passed as percentages to the frontend. This included around 50 customers in the ABAP, but only 10 were displayed in the graphic. The configured diagram type was a bar graph. The user switched to the pie chart within the graphics application. Furthermore, the "Display percentages" option was activated. The percentages in the graphic were calculated from the set of data that was passed on to the graphics application, which did not correspond to the data in the ABAP.
The above error occurred as a result.

Solution
The percentage display cannot be activated at this point. The pie chart is not recommended for such use.
A workaround would be to group the remaining items in the ABAP and pass them on to the graphics application as "Remainder". We can recommend the pie chart in this case.
