  The SAP error message WN224 indicates that there is an issue with the distribution chain configuration in relation to the resource planning (RP) determination process. Specifically, it suggests that the Sales Organization (SOrg) and Distribution Channel (DChl) combination is not fully maintained in the system, which is necessary for the proper functioning of the resource planning.
