  Cause:
  This warning message occurs because the distribution channel you are trying to use in a sales document or master data is not assigned to the specified sales organization in the system.

  Distribution Channel (VTWEG): Represents the channel through which products or services reach the customer (e.g., wholesale, retail).
  The combination of sales organization and distribution channel must be valid and maintained in customizing.
