  The error typically arises in scenarios where:
  
  Inconsistent Data: There are marketing rules that are expected to be compared or merged, but they reference different objects or entities in the system.

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:

  Data Consistency: Ensure that the data related to the marketing rules is consistent. If there are discrepancies, you may need to correct or delete the conflicting rules.
