What causes this issue?

Exception handling in pegging refers to the way in which scrap,
surplus, and stock difference (lost / found ) replenishments are
handled.
Pegging Customizing is defined to have all the exceptions pegged to
exception WBS elements (for each pegging- relevant plant).
Thus, these exception WBS elements must be defined for each
pegging-relevant plant. However, such a definition, for each pegging
relevant plant, has not been made.
Pegging will not execute until you fix this problem.
