This error indicates that the system is unable to find a valid condition record for the pricing condition you are trying to use.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Condition Record: The most common cause is that there is no condition record available for the specific condition type you are trying to use (e.g., discounts, surcharges, etc.) for the relevant combination of key fields (like customer, material, sales organization, etc.).
  Incorrect Data Entry: The data entered in the transaction may not match any existing condition records. This could be due to incorrect customer or material numbers, or other key fields.
