- Select the Opportunity view.
- Open the opportunity ABC (ABC represents the number of the opportunity).

The owner of the opportunity is not assigned to any Sales Unit. However, the system will not stop you from saving the opportunity.
As per the current system design, Opportunity is an Error Tolerant Document and therefore it is allowed to Save the document despite the error message. However, the system will always pop up the error whenever you open the document to alert/ inform you.
Resolution
Assign the Owner to a Sales Unit, using the following steps:
- Go to the Administrator work center.
- Select the General Settings view.
- Open the Employees link.
- Search for the owner XYZ and select the Edit button (XYZ represents the name of the employee).
- For the field Organizational Unit, select an option from the value help and Save.
- Now, open the opportunity ABC, remove the owner XYZ, add it again and Save.
The error message will disappear.
