  The SAP error message PMMO_DISTRIBUTION024 indicates that a grouping Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element does not have a Cost Object (CO) distribution profile assigned to it. This typically occurs in the context of project management and controlling when trying to perform cost distribution or allocation processes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing CO Distribution Profile: The WBS element you are trying to use does not have a CO distribution profile assigned. This profile is necessary for the system to know how to distribute costs associated with that WBS element.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the WBS element may not have been set up correctly, leading to the absence of a distribution profile.
  Project Structure Issues: The project structure may not be properly defined, or the WBS element may not be correctly linked to the necessary controlling areas.
