This typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM) modules when trying to process a sales order, quotation, or similar transaction.

  Incorrect Pricing Procedure: The pricing procedure assigned to the sales document may not be configured correctly, leading to missing or incorrect pricing conditions.
