  Check Customizing Settings:
  
  Navigate to the relevant Customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO).
  Go to the section related to performance rates, which may be under Project Management or Controlling, depending on your specific setup.

  Ensure that you enter all required fields, including the rate, validity period, and any other relevant details.
  
  
  
  Validate Key:
  
  Double-check the key being referenced in the error message to ensure it is correct and exists in the system.
