  The SAP error message CVIV_UI183 indicates that a customer cannot be mapped because it does not have a sales area defined. This error typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) processes, particularly when trying to create or process sales documents for a customer that lacks the necessary sales area configuration.

  Check Customer Master Data:
  
  Go to the transaction code XD02 (Change Customer) or VD02 (Change Customer - Sales Area).
  Enter the customer number and select the appropriate view (Sales Area Data).
