  Cause:
  This error typically arises in the context of contract management within SAP, particularly when dealing with contracts that involve performance obligations. The main causes of this error include:

  Adjust Conditions:
  
  If you find multiple conditions marked as "Main," change the status of the unnecessary ones to "Not Main."
  If there are no conditions marked as "Main," select the appropriate pricing condition and mark it as "Main."
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings for pricing conditions in your SAP system. Ensure that the settings align with the business requirements and that the system is configured to handle pricing conditions correctly.
