This error indicates that the system is trying to access a condition category that has not been defined or does not exist in the system.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Condition Categories:
  
  Go to the transaction code V/06 (for pricing condition types) or V/07 (for condition categories) to check if the condition category exists.
