• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSD_MESSAGE028 - Material &1 not entered for Sales Org. &2; Dist. Channel &3 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE028: Material &1 not entered for Sales Org. &2; Dist. Channel &3
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the material specified (&1) is not maintained or assigned for the given Sales Organization (&2) and Distribution Channel (&3) in the system. In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), a material must be assigned to a sales area (which is a combination of Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, and Division) to be available for sales transactions in that area.
  If the material master data is incomplete or missing the sales area data, the system cannot process sales documents involving that material for the specified sales organization and distribution channel.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Material &1: The material number you are trying to use.
  Sales Org. &2: The sales organization under which the sales transaction is being processed.
  Dist. Channel &3: The distribution channel through which the sales are made.
  
  The system checks if the material is valid and available for the sales area (Sales Org + Dist. Channel + Division). If the material is not assigned to the sales area, this error is triggered.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Enter the material number (&1).
  Check if the material has sales data maintained for the Sales Organization (&2) and Distribution Channel (&3).
  
  
  
  Maintain Sales Data for Material:
  
  If missing, use transaction MM02 (Change Material).
  Enter the material number.
  Navigate to the Sales: Sales Org. Data 1 and Sales: Sales Org. Data 2 views.
  Add or maintain the sales data for the relevant Sales Organization and Distribution Channel.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Check Sales Area Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the material is assigned to the correct sales area (Sales Org + Distribution Channel + Division).
  If division is missing, maintain it accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check if Material is Active:
  
  Verify that the material is not flagged for deletion or blocked for sales.
  
  
  
  Re-try the transaction after maintaining the sales data.
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common during sales order creation (VA01) or other sales-related transactions.
  The sales area data in the material master controls pricing, availability check, and other sales-related functions.
  If multiple sales organizations or distribution channels are used, ensure the material is maintained for all relevant sales areas.
  Sometimes, the error can also occur if the material number is incorrect or mistyped.
