• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GMMASTERDATA008 - Budgeting not possible without grant validity ranges ?

  The SAP error message GMMASTERDATA008 indicates that budgeting is not possible because there are no valid grant validity ranges defined for the grant in question. This error typically occurs in the context of Grant Management (GM) within SAP, where budgeting is tied to specific grants and their validity periods.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A grant is being used for budgeting, but it does not have any associated validity ranges defined.
  The grant may not be properly set up in the system, or the validity ranges may have been deleted or not created at all.

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Grant Validity Ranges:
