  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when the sales area provided does not exist or is not properly configured in the system. The sales area is a combination of the following elements:

  Check Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the sales organization is assigned to the company code and that the distribution channel is assigned to the sales organization. This can be checked in the configuration settings.
