OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT

[Gomathi Gunasekaran]

Regarding the budget creation issue, I'm encountering difficulties in creating budgets. while this functionality worked good in the previous version, I've encountered unexpected behaviour upon transitioning to v16

{
  "mutateOperations": [
    {
      "campaignBudgetOperation": {
        "create": {
          "amountMicros": 10000,
          "resourceName": "customers/{customer id}/campaignBudgets/-21"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

{
  "error": {
    "code": 400,
    "message": "Request contains an invalid argument.",
    "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",
    "details": [
      {
        "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.ads.googleads.v16.errors.GoogleAdsFailure",
        "errors": [
          {
            "errorCode": {
              "contextError": "OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT"
            },
            "message": "The operation is not allowed for the given context.",
            "location": {
              "fieldPathElements": [
                {
                  "fieldName": "mutate_operations",
                  "index": 0
                },
                {
                  "fieldName": "campaign_budget_operation"
                }
              ]
            }
          }
        ],
        "requestId": "PZICEDkPZmRLdds_vTqLpZ9Zg"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

By reviewing your query, I understand that you are getting the 'OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT' error when trying to create a campaign budget using the v16. Kindly note that no resource name is expected for the new budget when performing the create operation. Kindly check the below sample request :

{
  "operations": [
    {
      "create": {
        "name": "Campaign Budget Test 5",
        "amountMicros": 10000
      }
    }
  ],
  "partialFailure": true
}

I have tried to replicate the issue on my end and I did not encounter the error "OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT". I am getting a successful run using v16 on the above request and the results are returned. I would suggest you try making a new request to the customers.campaignBudgets.mutate endpoint using the above sample and let us know how this goes on your end.

This message is in relation to case "ref:!00D1U01174p.!5004Q02rzwWh:ref" (ADR-00227225)

Thanks,
