  The SAP error message /ACCGO/CMGL_APPL186 Enter all sales area information typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution processes, particularly when trying to create or modify a sales document, such as a sales order or quotation. This error indicates that the system requires complete sales area information to proceed.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the sales area information is incomplete. The sales area in SAP consists of three components:
  
  Sales Organization
  Distribution Channel
  Division
  
  If any of these components are missing or not properly defined in the transaction you are trying to execute, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that all required sales area information is entered correctly. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Check Sales Area Information:
  
  Go to the transaction where the error occurred (e.g., VA01 for creating a sales order).
  Ensure that you have filled in the Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, and Division fields.
  
  
  
  Verify Master Data:
  
  Check the customer master data to ensure that the sales area is defined for the customer you are working with. You can do this by navigating to the customer master record (transaction code XD03 for display).
  Ensure that the customer is assigned to the correct sales area.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  If the error occurs while dealing with a specific material, check the material master data (transaction code MM03 for display) to ensure that it is set up for the relevant sales area.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, check the configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that the sales area is properly defined in the system. This can be done in the SPRO transaction under Sales and Distribution settings.
  
  
  
  User Input:
  
  If you are entering data manually, double-check that you are not missing any required fields. Sometimes, the user interface may not clearly indicate which fields are mandatory.
