Answer

To allow sales representatives to select a product on opportunities using custom price books, an administrator must create an active price entry for the product in the Standard Price Book and add the product as an active entry in the custom price book.
To make a newly created product available on opportunities using custom price books, an administrator must complete two essential configuration steps: first, create an active standard price entry for the product in the Standard Price Book, and second, add the product as an active entry to the target custom price book. The standard price entry serves as the mandatory foundation in Salesforce before any custom price book entries can be established.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Create an active standard price entry for the product.
The product receives a baseline price in the Standard Price Book.
Salesforce enforces a standard price entry as a mandatory prerequisite before adding a product to any custom price book.
2
Add the product to the target custom price book with an active price entry.
The product becomes available within the custom price book catalog.
Opportunities assigned to that custom price book can now include this product as an opportunity line item.
