• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PMIQBPCUS_E108 - Grant with key & already exists in Grants Management ?

  The SAP error message PMIQBPCUS_E108 indicates that a grant with the specified key already exists in the Grants Management module. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to create a new grant using a key that is already in use, which violates the uniqueness constraint for grant identifiers.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Key Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the grant key you are trying to create already exists in the system. This can happen if:
  
  The grant was previously created and not properly deleted.
  There was an attempt to create a grant with the same identifier due to a data entry error.
  A system or user error led to the reuse of an existing grant key.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Grants:
  
  Use transaction codes like GMGRANT or S_ALR_87012086 to search for existing grants in the system. Look for the grant key you are trying to create.
  If the grant exists, verify if it is still valid or if it can be reused.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Key:
  
  If the grant key is indeed in use and you need to create a new grant, consider using a different, unique key that does not conflict with existing entries.
  
  
  
  Delete or Archive Existing Grant:
  
  If the existing grant is no longer needed, you may consider deleting or archiving it, provided you have the necessary permissions and it complies with your organization's data retention policies.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines on grant management to ensure you are following the correct procedures for creating and managing grants.
