derivation. An incomplete FMAA assignment may be made in the Sales

in the Derivation Tool to properly determine the FMAA values for the
Sales Order.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

If your business requirements dictate that you must maintain a CO object
in your Grant Master, adjust the message control for this message to an
appropriate severity level in the following customizing step:
Execute customizing step Public Sector Management -> Grants Management
-> Grantee Management --> Global Settings -> Change Message Control for
