This situation typically arises in the context of pricing procedures in SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management) when dealing with pricing conditions.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Price Elements: The error suggests that there are price elements (like discounts, surcharges, etc.) that are marked as inactive within a specific exclusion group.

  Solution:
  
  Review Exclusion Groups: Check the configuration of the exclusion groups in the pricing procedure. Ensure that all price elements in the exclusion group are either active or inactive, but not a mix of both.
  Activate/Deactivate Price Elements: Depending on your business requirements, either activate the inactive price elements or deactivate the active ones to resolve the conflict.
  Adjust Pricing Procedure: If necessary, modify the pricing procedure to ensure that the exclusion groups are set up correctly and that they reflect the intended pricing logic.
  Testing: After making changes, test the pricing procedure to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the pricing behaves as expected.
