  SAP Error Message: VP210
  Message Text:
  
  Ship-to party & not defined for sales area & & &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs because the Ship-to party (a business partner or customer) is not assigned or maintained for the specified sales area (combination of Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, and Division) in the customer master data.
  In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), each customer (sold-to party) can have multiple partner functions, such as Ship-to party, Bill-to party, Payer, etc. For a sales document, the system checks if the Ship-to party is valid and assigned for the sales area involved. If the Ship-to party is missing or not maintained for that sales area, the system throws this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During sales order creation or processing.
  When the system tries to determine the Ship-to party for a sales document.
  If the Ship-to party is entered manually or defaulted but not maintained for the sales area.
  When partner determination procedures are triggered and the Ship-to party is missing or invalid.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Customer Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction VD03 (Display Customer) or VD02 (Change Customer).
  Enter the Ship-to party customer number.
  Check if the customer is maintained for the relevant Sales Area (Sales Org, Distribution Channel, Division).
  If not maintained, create or extend the customer master for the required sales area using VD01 (Create Customer) or VD02.
  
  
  
  Maintain Partner Functions:
  
  In the sold-to party customer master, check the Partner Functions tab.
  Ensure that the Ship-to party is assigned correctly for the sales area.
  If missing, assign the Ship-to party to the sold-to party for the sales area.
  
  
  
  Check Partner Determination Procedure:
  
  Verify the partner determination procedure assigned to the sales document type.
  Ensure that the Ship-to party partner function is included and correctly configured.
  Use transaction VOPA to check/change partner determination procedures.
  
  
  
  Sales Document Check:
  
  When creating the sales order, verify that the Ship-to party entered is valid for the sales area.
  If the Ship-to party is defaulted incorrectly, correct it manually or fix the partner determination logic.
