Symptom
You have an account with a set of Sales Data (a Sales Org., a Division, a Distribution Channel and a Sales Office). You are trying to add a new sales data entry with same details, only changing the sales office - that is when error message appears. You wonder why it appears since sales office is different.
Environment
SAP Cloud for Customer
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Customers work center.
- Open the Accounts view.
- Open Account ABC (where ABC is the ID of an account).
- Open the Sales Data view.
- Notice an entry with DEF (where DEF is a Sales Org.), GHI (where GHI is a Distribution Channel), JKL (where JKL is a Division) and MNO (where MNO is a Sales Office).
- Click in the New button to add a new entry of sales data.
- In the popup insert DEF, GHI, JKL.
- For MNO, select a different sales office value.
