What causes this issue?

The system could not determine a distribution channel. This can have
different causes:
A distribution channel has not been assigned to the organizational unit
in the organizational model.
The responsible organizational unit was not found and for this reason
the distribution channel could also not be derived.

System Response

The system cannot determine further data (for example, partners, prices)
because the <DS:GLOS.3526C801AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>sales area</> is
incomplete.

How to fix this error?

Enter a distribution channel in the appropriate field.

Procedure for System Administrators

Distribution channels are assigned as attributes to the organizational
units. When the responsible organizational unit (for example, the sales
organization) is determined, the distribution channel assigned to it, is
automatically transferred. For this reason, check whether distribution
channels are assigned in the organizational model.
