Sequence disallows order by

without comments

A call to a PRICE_S1 sequence in a query with an ORDER BY clause is disallowed, which typically occurs in an INSERT statement. Any attempt raises the following exception:

SELECT   price_s1.NEXTVAL AS price_id
                  *
ERROR AT line 1:
ORA-02287: SEQUENCE NUMBER NOT allowed here

You need to remove the ORDER BY clause to eliminate the error.
