  The error message WZ852 "Enter a rule" typically occurs in SAP when a required pricing or condition rule is missing or not maintained in the system. This often happens during pricing or condition technique processing, where the system expects a valid rule or condition record to determine prices, discounts, or surcharges but none is found or entered.
  Common scenarios include:  
  
  Missing or incomplete condition records in pricing procedures.  
  Condition tables or access sequences that require a rule but none is specified.

  V/07 (Access Sequences)  
  V/08 (Condition Tables)
