Answer
The administrator must create an active standard price entry for the product in the Standard Price Book before it can be added to any custom price book.
In Salesforce, every product must have an active standard price entry in the Standard Price Book before it can be associated with any custom price book. This ensures a master baseline price exists across the organization.
