• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FLBP137 - No sales areas were found for business partner &1 ?

  The SAP error message FLBP137 "No sales areas were found for business partner &1" typically occurs when a business partner (BP) is being processed in a context where a sales area is required, but no sales area has been assigned to that business partner. This can happen in various transactions, such as when creating sales orders, quotations, or other sales-related documents.

  Ensure that the sales organization, distribution channel, and division are correctly configured in the system.
