Message: "Define first as general sales area"

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

I am studying SD and I am working on my proyect, I already defined my sales area, distribution channel and division, assigned all and created the sales area, also created a sales document type, now I am going to assign the sales document for the sales area, the sales area and document type was already there but I keep getting the message "Define <my sales area> first as general sales area", I don't know what is this message about since I anready created the sales area.

Thanls
