  The SAP error message 65186, "Amount or percentage rate not possible in zero condition," typically occurs in the context of pricing conditions in SAP, particularly when dealing with condition records for pricing, discounts, or surcharges.

  Causes:
  
  Zero Condition Record: The condition record being referenced has a value of zero, which is not acceptable for the operation being performed.

  Check Condition Records: Review the condition records for the relevant pricing conditions. Ensure that they are set up correctly and do not have a value of zero unless explicitly allowed.
  Adjust Pricing Procedure: If the pricing procedure is not allowing zero values where they should be, consider adjusting the configuration to accommodate this. This may involve changing the settings in the pricing procedure or the condition type.
  Review Condition Type Settings: Check the settings for the specific condition type in the SAP configuration (transaction code SPRO). Ensure that it is configured to allow the necessary values.
  Data Validation: Ensure that the data being entered into the system is validated to prevent zero values from being entered where they are not acceptable.
