  Where does this error typically occur?
  
  During pricing procedure configuration.
  When maintaining condition records.
  In output determination configuration.

  Solution:
  
  
  Verify the Condition Table Name:
  
  Check the condition table name entered in the configuration or master data.
  Ensure it matches exactly with the condition table defined in the system.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Table Existence:
  
  Use transaction V/03 (Display Condition Table) or V/04 (Change Condition Table) to verify if the condition table exists.
  If it does not exist, create or activate the required condition table.
  
  
  
  Check Naming Conventions:
  
  Condition table names usually follow a specific format (e.g., numeric or alphanumeric with a certain length).
  Ensure the name adheres to SAP standards.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  In pricing procedure (transaction V/08) or output determination procedure, verify that the condition table is correctly assigned.
  Correct any incorrect references.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If the condition table was recently created or changed, ensure that the transport was imported correctly.
