Dear Umed,
This is a sequence infringement of Customizing activities.
Once, You created Sales Org and Dist Chnl  in IMG-Settings, i.e.
SPRO --> IMG --> Enterprise Structure --> Definition --> Sales and Distribution
--> Define Sales Org
--> Define Dist. Chnl
Also, create Division:
SPRO --> IMG --> Enterprise Structure --> Definition --> Logistics - General --> Define Division
Once, Enterprise Definition is Done, we make assignment:
SPRO --> IMG --> Enterprise Structure --> Assignment --> Sales and Distribution
--> Assign Dist. Chnl to Sales Org
--> Assign Division to Sales Org
--> Set Up Sales Area
and Finally, we Maintain Following settings in sequence:
OVAO: Define reference S. Org. - assign the same sales org to it, i.e, 1000 to 1000
OVAM: Define reference D. Chl. - assign Sales Org+Dist channel, i.e. 1000+15 to 15
OVAN: Define reference Dvn. - assign Sales Org+Division, i.e. 1000+ 99 to 99
OVAZ - Assign Sales Document Type to permitted sales Area.
Now, you get the error:
Define <1000/15/99> first as a general sales area!
As per my understanding, you must check and maintain Assignment, via:
OVXK     Assignment: Distr. Channel --> Sales Org
OVXA     Assignment: Division --> Sales Org
OVXG     Set Up: Sales Area: Overview
and then make assignment in OVAZ.
Please, check the same and update.
