  Solution
  
  
  Check Sales Organization Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction OVX5 or SPRO ? Enterprise Structure ? Definition ? Sales and Distribution ? Define Sales Organization.
  Verify if the sales organization code exists.
  
  
  
  Create or Correct Sales Organization:
  
  If the sales organization does not exist, create it using transaction OVX5 or via SPRO customizing.
  If it exists but is incorrect in the document or master data, correct the sales organization code.
  
  
  
  Check Assignments:
  
  Ensure the sales organization is assigned to the correct company code.
  
  Use transaction OVX3 or SPRO path: Enterprise Structure ? Assignment ? Sales and Distribution ? Assign Sales Organization to Company Code.
