  SAP Error Message: W7074
  Message Text:
  You can select a distr. channel only in conjunction with a sales org.
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you try to select or enter a Distribution Channel in a sales document or configuration without specifying a Sales Organization. In SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) module, the Distribution Channel is always linked to a Sales Organization. You cannot select or maintain a distribution channel independently without associating it with a sales organization.
  In other words, the system expects that whenever you specify a distribution channel, the corresponding sales organization must also be specified because the combination of sales org + distribution channel defines the sales area.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Sales Organization (VKORG): Represents the selling unit responsible for sales.
  Distribution Channel (VTWEG): Represents the channel through which products or services reach the customer (e.g., wholesale, retail).
  Sales Area: Combination of Sales Org + Distribution Channel
