Most likely there is a PDI script event BeforeSave or AfterModify which tries to create sales arrangement data without a Distribution Channel.

Code exampe:

if (SalesOrg.IsSet())

                {
                      salesArrangmntData.SalesOrganisationUUID = SalesOrg.UUID;
                }

This causes the observed error, as Distribution Channel is mandatory for a Sales Arrangement.

Distribution Channel field is mandatory when creating a Sales Arrangement.
