Cause 1: Missing or inactive Pricing Procedure for the Sales Transaction Context

Cause 2: Context Definition mismatch between Pricing Procedure and Product Discovery Settings

Cause 5: Subscription product is missing subscription pricing setup

1. From Setup, open Product Discovery Settings.
2. Turn off Use Indexed Data for Product Listing and Search.
