  The SAP error message GMMASTERDATA032 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of grant numbers in the Grants Management (GM) module. Specifically, this error occurs when you attempt to create or manage grant master data using internal number assignment while also specifying a grant number. In SAP, when internal number assignment is used, the system automatically generates the grant number, and you should not manually specify one.
  Cause:

  You are trying to create a grant master record and have selected the option for internal number assignment.
  You have also entered a grant number manually in the relevant field.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Number Assignment Settings:
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct number assignment method. If you want the system to generate the grant number automatically, you should not enter any value in the grant number field.
  
  
  
  Remove Manual Entry:
  
  If you have entered a grant number manually, clear that field before proceeding. Leave the grant number field blank to allow the system to generate it automatically.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you are unsure about the settings for number assignment, you may need to review the configuration in the SAP system. This can typically be done by navigating to the relevant customizing settings in the SAP IMG (Implementation Guide).
  
  
  
  Test the Process:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, try to create the grant master data again to see if the error persists.
