What causes this issue?

The chosen functional area cannot be used with this grant.
In Grants Management (GM), the functional area might be linked to the
sponsored program in one of the following ways:
As a direct budgeting object
In this case, during GM budgeting, and if there is an integration
process with Funds Management, the value of the functional area is taken
directly 1:1 from the sponsored program. Multiple functional areas can
point to the same sponsored program.
As a budget transfer object and when the flag
<DS:DE.GM_VALIDATE_FMBA>Validate Allowed Budget and Posting Objects</>
is set in the sponsored program
When there are budget transfers in Funds Management involving a grant,
the system verifies that the functional area used in this transfer is
included in a functional area group assigned to the sponsored program.
Only in this case can the budget transfer occur.
When there are postings involving a grant, the system verifies that the
used functional area is included in a functional area group assigned to
the sponsored program. Only in this case can the posting occur.

System Response

Budget operation or posting cannot take place.

How to fix this error?

Change the functional area in the relevant line or in the corresponding
sponsored program or add the used functional area in the functional area
group defined in the sponsored program.
