This error indicates that the system is trying to access a pricing exception rule that has not been defined or does not exist in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Exception Rule: The specific exception rule referenced in the error message has not been created or is not available in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the pricing procedure or condition types that leads to the system looking for a non-existent exception rule.
