# `INVALID_ALLOCATION_AMOUNT`

`INVALID_ALLOCATION_AMOUNT`

## Description

A premium-allocation leg amount is outside the accepted range of 0 to 10,000
basis points.

## HTTP Status

`422 Unprocessable Entity`

## `doc_url` Format

`<docs-base-url>/errors/invalid_allocation_amount`

## Typical Cause

An allocation leg has an `amount.value` below `0` or above `10000`.

## Example

```json
{
  "errors": [{
    "code": "INVALID_ALLOCATION_AMOUNT",
    "message": "Invalid premium allocation amount on instrument …: -1",
    "doc_url": "https://docs.example.com/errors/invalid_allocation_amount"
  }]
}
```

## How To Fix

Provide an amount between `0` and `10000` using `BASIS_POINT_OF_PREMIUM`.
