How to fix this error?

If a plant is entered on the selection screen, it is not compulsary to
enter a distribution chain. If no distribution chain is entered, the
system uses all available distribution chain assignments of the plant.
Therefore, start the program again without entering a distribution
chain.
If the distribution chains determined this way are not what you
expected or if the plant is not assigned to any distribution chain, you
should check the distribution chain assignments of the plant.
To do so, proceed as follows:
In Retail, a plant usually sells via exactly one distribution chain;
this assignment is maintained in the plant master.
If you want the plant to sell via additional distribution chains, you
have to make the corresponding assignments in Customizing for Sales.

  &1 = Plant

  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to create or process a sales document (like a sales order) for a plant that is not assigned to the specified sales area, which consists of:
  
  Sales Organization
  Distribution Channel
  Division
  
  In SAP SD, the sales area defines the combination of sales organization, distribution channel, and division through which sales are conducted. Each plant must be assigned to the sales area to be allowed to sell products via that channel and division.
  If the plant is not assigned to the distribution channel and division in the sales area, the system throws this error.
  
  Where does this happen?
  
  During sales order creation (VA01/VA02)
  Delivery processing
  Pricing or availability check steps related to sales area validation
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Plant Assignment to Sales Area:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Basic Shipping Functions ? Assign Plants to Sales Organizations and Distribution Channels.
  Or directly use transaction OVX5 (Assign Plants to Sales Organizations and Distribution Channels).
  Verify if the plant (&1) is assigned to the sales organization, distribution channel (&2), and division (&3).
  
  
  
  Assign Plant to Sales Area:
  
  If the plant is not assigned, assign it to the correct sales organization, distribution channel, and division.
  Save the configuration.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify the Material Master (MM03) sales views to ensure the plant is valid for sales.
  Check the Customer Master (XD03/VD03) sales area data to ensure consistency.
  
  
  
  Check Sales Area Data:
  
  Ensure the sales area (Sales Org + Distribution Channel + Division) is correctly maintained and active.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  The assignment of plants to sales areas controls which plants can be used for sales transactions in a particular sales area.
  This assignment is crucial for availability check, delivery processing, and pricing.
  If you want a plant to sell via multiple distribution channels or divisions, you must assign it accordingly.
  This error helps prevent inconsistencies in sales processing and ensures that only authorized plants are used for sales in specific channels.
