  SAP Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE030 Invalid sales area (Sales Org. &1, Dist.Chan. &2)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the sales area combination entered in a transaction or master data is not valid or does not exist in the system. A sales area in SAP is defined by the combination of:
  
  Sales Organization
  Distribution Channel
  Division
  
  If any of these components are missing, incorrect, or the combination is not maintained in the system, SAP will throw this error.
  Specifically, the message indicates that the combination of Sales Organization (&1) and Distribution Channel (&2) is invalid or not assigned.
  
  Common scenarios causing this error:
  
  The sales organization or distribution channel entered does not exist in the system.
  The sales area combination (Sales Org + Dist. Channel + Division) is not maintained in the customizing.
  The sales area is not assigned to the relevant master data (e.g., customer master, material master).
  Incorrect or incomplete data entry in sales documents (e.g., sales order, quotation).
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Sales Area Configuration:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Enterprise Structure ? Assignment ? Sales and Distribution ? Assign Sales Organization to Company Code and verify the sales organization.

  Ensure that the combination of Sales Organization + Distribution Channel + Division exists.

  Verify that the customer master and material master have the correct sales area data.
  Use transactions VD03 (Display Customer) or MM03 (Display Material) to check sales area assignments.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entry:
  
  When creating sales documents, ensure that the sales organization, distribution channel, and division are correctly entered and valid.
