  SAP Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE207: Sales organisation cannot be selected for application &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign or select a sales organization for a particular application in SAP, but the sales organization is not valid or not allowed for that specific application. The placeholder &1 in the message represents the application code (e.g., SD for Sales and Distribution, MM for Materials Management, etc.).
  Common reasons include:
  
  The sales organization is not maintained or configured for the specified application.
  The sales organization is not assigned to the relevant organizational structure or business area.
  Customizing settings in the IMG (Implementation Guide) do not allow the sales organization to be used for the application.
  The sales organization is inactive or flagged as deleted.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Sales Organization Configuration:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Enterprise Structure ? Definition ? Sales and Distribution ? Define, copy, delete, check sales organization.
  Verify that the sales organization exists and is active.
  
  
  
  Verify Assignment to Application:
  
  Check if the sales organization is assigned to the relevant application.
  For example, in SD, ensure the sales organization is assigned to the distribution channel and division as required.
  
  
  
  Check Organizational Assignments:
  
  Verify that the sales organization is assigned correctly to the company code and other relevant organizational units.
  Path: SPRO ? Enterprise Structure ? Assignment ? Sales and Distribution ? Assign sales organization to company code.

  Sometimes, specific applications restrict which sales organizations can be used.
