  The SAP error message GMMASTERDATA151 indicates that there is no initial lifecycle status defined for a specific grant type in the Grants Management module. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or manage a grant, but the system cannot find a valid initial status for the specified grant type.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The most common cause of this error is that the grant type you are trying to use has not been properly configured in the system. Specifically, the initial lifecycle status for that grant type has not been defined.
  Incorrect Grant Type: You may be using a grant type that is not set up in the system or is not intended for the operation you are trying to perform.
