  Verify that the sales template with the specified key exists and is correctly configured.
  Ensure that the sales area (sales organization, distribution channel, division) is assigned to the sales template.

  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration steps, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant for guidance.
