Plant &V1& does not sell via <GL:distribution_chain>distribution
chain</> &V2&/&V3&.

System Response

No sales prices can be calculated for plant &V1&.

How to fix this error?

If a plant has been entered on the initial screen of Sales Price
Calculation, you should not have to enter a distribution chain, because
if you leave the field blank the system will automatically find all
distribution chains to which the plant is assigned and for which sales
prices are defined at plant level.
Try the transaction once again, without entering a distribution chain.
If the distribution chains that are determined in this way are not the
ones you expected, you should check which distribution chains the plant
is assigned to.
You should also check the Customizing settings for the allowed pricing
levels below distribution chain level.
To check master data and Customizing, go to:
<DS:TRAS.WB03>Display plant</>
<DS:SIMG.W_OE_EG_WL_0101>Distribution chain control</>
