• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMCE219 - Only Grant value "blank" is allowed for cover group &1 ?

  The SAP error message FMCE219, which states "Only Grant value 'blank' is allowed for cover group &1," typically occurs in the context of Funds Management (FM) when there is an issue with the configuration or assignment of cover groups in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Cover Group Configuration: The error indicates that the cover group specified (denoted by &1) is not configured to accept any grant values other than a blank value. This usually means that the cover group is set up in such a way that it does not allow for any specific grant assignments.
  
  
  Incorrect Assignment: The error may also arise if there is an attempt to assign a grant value to a cover group that is not designed to handle grants.
  
  
  Data Entry Error: There might be a data entry error where a user is trying to assign a non-blank grant value to a cover group that only accepts blank.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Cover Group Configuration: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the cover group in the SAP system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant customizing transaction (usually through SPRO).

  Review Grant Assignments:
  
  If the cover group is intended to accept grants, ensure that the correct grants are assigned to it. If it should only accept blank, then ensure that no grant values are being assigned.
  
  
  
  Data Entry Correction:
  
  If the error is due to incorrect data entry, correct the entry to ensure that the grant value is left blank when using the specified cover group.
