This error indicates that the system could not find any data associated with the key you specified in your transaction or report.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Condition Records: The most common cause is that there are no condition records for the pricing procedure or the specific key (like customer, material, or sales organization) you are trying to access.
  Incorrect Key: The key you are using may be incorrect or not properly formatted. This could be due to typos or using the wrong combination of fields.
  Data Not Maintained: The necessary data might not have been maintained in the system. For example, if you are trying to access pricing information, the relevant pricing conditions may not have been set up.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data, leading to this error.
  Data Deletion: The data might have been deleted or archived, making it unavailable for the current transaction.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Condition Records: 
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., VK11 for creating condition records) and check if the condition records exist for the specified key.
  If they do not exist, you may need to create them.
