3516028 - Receiving error message "Conditions cannot be created in distribution channel XX" or "Conditions cannot be created in division XX"

Receive error message when maintaining condition records for free goods, material determination, or material listing and exclusion: "Conditions cannot be created in distribution channel XX" or "Conditions cannot be created in division XX".

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

When maintaining condition records for free goods, material determination, or material listing and exclusion, if common distribution channels or common divisions have been defined for sales areas being used, the validation is performed based on the combination of "sales organization + reference distribution channel/division" that are maintained in the configuration activities "Define Common Distribution Channels" (ID: 102180) and/or "Define Common Divisions" (ID: 102181).

Note: It is "Reference distrib.channel for cust.and material masters" and "Reference division for customers" that are used for this validation, instead of "Reference distribution channel for conditions" and "Reference division for conditions".

Below are examples of using valid combination of "sales organization + reference distribution channel" & "sales organization + reference division":

Image 1 - Valid combination of "sales organization + reference distribution channel": 1210 + 10

Image 2 - Valid combination of "sales organization + reference division": 1210 + 00

Image 3 - Valid sales area: 1210/10/00

Image 4 - Invalid sales area: 1210/40/00

Image 5 - Invalid sales area: 1210/10/02

Use "Reference distrib.channel for cust.and material masters" and "Reference division for customers" when maintaining condition records for free goods, material determination, or material listing and exclusion.
