is viewed as the recipient of the goods. The recipient must be assigned
a unique sales area and sold-to party in the customer master record.
The system could not find a unique sales area for the goods recipient.

System Response

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WT219 - No unique sales area found for goods recipient &1 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WT219: No unique sales area found for goods recipient &1:
  
  Error Message
  WT219 No unique sales area found for goods recipient &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during delivery processing or sales document processing when the system tries to determine the sales area (Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, Division) for the goods recipient but cannot find a unique sales area assignment.
  
  The goods recipient (ship-to party) is a business partner or customer.
  The system attempts to find a unique sales area for this goods recipient based on the master data.
  If multiple sales areas are assigned to the goods recipient without a clear unique determination, or if no sales area is assigned, the system cannot proceed and throws this error.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During delivery creation or processing.
  When the system tries to determine the sales area for the goods recipient (ship-to party) in the delivery.
  When the sales area is not explicitly maintained or is ambiguous in the customer master or partner functions.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Customer Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction VD03 (Display Customer) or XD03 (Display Customer - General).
  Check the Sales Area Data for the goods recipient (ship-to party).
  Ensure that the customer has a unique sales area assigned.
  If multiple sales areas exist, determine which one should be used for the delivery.
  
  
  
  Maintain Sales Area for the Goods Recipient:
  
  If the goods recipient does not have a sales area assigned, create one using VD01/VD02 or XD01/XD02.
  Assign the correct Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, and Division.
  
  
  
  Check Partner Functions in the Sales Document:
  
  Verify the partner functions in the sales order or delivery.
  Ensure the goods recipient partner function is correctly assigned and linked to a unique sales area.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing for Sales Area Determination:
  
  Sometimes, the system uses partner determination or other logic to find the sales area.
  Review the configuration in SPRO under:
  
  Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Partner Determination
  Sales and Distribution ? Sales ? Sales Documents ? Sales Document Header ? Define Sales Areas for Customer Master
  
  
  
  
  
  If Multiple Sales Areas Exist:
  
  You may need to specify the sales area explicitly in the sales document or delivery.
  Alternatively, adjust the master data to avoid ambiguity.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  
  The sales area is a key organizational unit in SAP SD and consists of:
  
  Sales Organization
  Distribution Channel
  Division
  
  
  
  The system requires a unique sales area to process sales documents and deliveries correctly.
  
  
  The goods recipient (ship-to party) must be assigned to a sales area that matches the sales document or delivery context.
  
  
  This error is common when the customer master data is incomplete or inconsistent.
