What causes this issue?

When Grants Management (GM) is integrated with Funds Management (FM) for
a given company code through customizing, the derivation of the grant
must take place in the FM derivation tool. All other grant dimensions
like program and class have to be derived using the GM derivation tool.
If, at the end of the derivation process, the derived grant from FM and
the derived grant in GM differ, an error message is issued.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GMCUSTOM006 - Grant &1 was derived by FM and differs from grant &2 derived by GM ?

  The SAP error message GMCUSTOM006 indicates a discrepancy between two grants that are derived from different sources within the system. Specifically, it suggests that Grant &1 was derived by a Funds Management (FM) process, while Grant &2 was derived by Grant Management (GM). This inconsistency can lead to issues in financial reporting and grant management processes.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Grant Derivation: The error typically arises when there is a mismatch in the way grants are derived from the underlying data. For example, one grant may be derived based on certain criteria in FM, while another grant is derived based on different criteria in GM.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in either the FM or GM modules that are not aligned, leading to different interpretations of the same data.
  Data Integrity Issues: There could be issues with the data itself, such as missing or incorrect entries that lead to different grants being derived.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Grant Derivation Logic: Check the configuration settings for both FM and GM to ensure that they are aligned. This includes reviewing the rules and criteria used for deriving grants in both modules.
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a data integrity check to ensure that all relevant data is accurate and complete. Look for any discrepancies in the underlying data that could lead to different grant derivations.
  Adjust Configuration: If you identify any misconfigurations, adjust the settings in either FM or GM to ensure that they derive grants consistently.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance on the GMCUSTOM006 error and recommended practices for resolving it.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the issue is resolved and that grants are being derived correctly.
