Invalid Sales Area?

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I'm getting the error below while creating a Material master. However, when I check the settings in

IMG > Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Sales & Distribution > Assign Distribution Channel to Sales Organization , the setting is there. Do I need to define this anywhere else?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Check if you have defined the sales area for the sales org / dist channel / division combination.

Also check if plant (maintained in MM01) is assigned to the sales org in OVX6.

Then extend the material to the sales org.

Rergards,

Ensure that the plant in which you are creating the material is assigned to sales organization and distribution channel in OVX6.

Dear January,

Please check these settings in the IMG

IMG > Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Sales & Distribution >Set up sales area here you check have you assigned Sales organisationdistribution channelDivision.

If not done do the assignment Sales organisationdistribution channelDivision

IMG > Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Sales & Distribution >Assign sales organization - distribution channel - plant

Finally you do the common divisions and distribution channels through VOR1 and VOR2 transaction

then try

I hope this will help you,
