  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W+671 - Sales office &1 is not assigned to sales area &2 &3 &4 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    W+671 Sales office &1 is not assigned to sales area &2 &3 &4


    Meaning / Cause:

    This warning message indicates that the Sales Office (represented by &1) you are trying to use or assign in a transaction or master data is not assigned to the specified Sales Area (Sales Organization &2, Distribution Channel &3, Division &4).

    • Sales Area in SAP is a combination of:

      • Sales Organization
      • Distribution Channel
      • Division
    • The Sales Office is an organizational unit that must be linked to the Sales Area to be valid in sales documents or master data.

    If the Sales Office is not assigned to the Sales Area, SAP cannot process the transaction correctly because the organizational structure is inconsistent.


    When does this occur?

    • When creating or changing sales documents (e.g., sales orders, quotations).
    • When maintaining customer master data or sales master data.
    • When assigning sales office in pricing or condition records.
    • During data migration or master data setup.

    How to check / verify:

    1. Check the Sales Office assignment:

      • Use transaction OVX5 (or navigate via SPRO):
        • IMG Path: Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Sales and Distribution -> Assign Sales Office to Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, and Division
      • Here, you can see which Sales Offices are assigned to which Sales Areas.
    2. Check the Sales Area details:

      • Verify the Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, and Division in the sales document or master data.
    3. Check the Sales Office master data:

      • Transaction OVX3 to display Sales Office details.

    Solution:

    • Assign the Sales Office to the Sales Area:

      • Go to transaction OVX5.
      • Assign the Sales Office (&1) to the Sales Organization (&2), Distribution Channel (&3), and Division (&4).
      • Save the assignment.
    • Alternatively:

      • Use a Sales Office that is already assigned to the Sales Area.
      • Correct the Sales Area in the sales document or master data to match the Sales Office assignment.
    • After assignment, retry the transaction.


    Additional Information:

    • This is a warning message (W+671), so depending on system settings, it might allow you to continue but it is recommended to fix the assignment to avoid inconsistencies.
    • Proper organizational assignment ensures correct reporting, pricing, and process flow.
    • If you are unsure about the correct Sales Office or Sales Area, consult your organizational structure or SAP SD team.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Message W+671 Sales office &1 is not assigned to sales area &2 &3 &4
    Cause Sales Office not assigned to the Sales Area (Sales Org + Dist. Channel + Division)
    Solution Assign Sales Office to Sales Area via OVX5 or correct Sales Office/Sales Area in data
    Transaction OVX5 (Assign Sales Office to Sales Area), OVX3 (Display Sales Office)

    If you need, I can guide you step-by-step on how to perform the assignment in SAP.
