• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 88590 - Price for fraction / V/ACl &2 is never allowed to be 0 ?

  The SAP error message 88590, which states "Price for fraction / V/ACl &2 is never allowed to be 0," typically occurs in the context of pricing in SAP, particularly when dealing with condition records for pricing in sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM). This error indicates that a pricing condition has been defined with a value of zero, which is not permissible for certain types of pricing conditions.
  Cause:
  
  Zero Price Condition: The most common cause of this error is that a pricing condition record has been created or modified with a price of zero. This is not allowed for certain condition types, especially those that require a non-zero value.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue in the pricing procedure that does not allow for zero values in specific condition types.
  Data Entry Error: A user may have inadvertently entered a zero price when creating or updating a condition record.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Condition Records: Review the condition records for the relevant pricing condition type. Ensure that none of the records have a price set to zero. You can do this by navigating to the condition records in the relevant transaction (e.g., VK11 for creating or VK12 for changing).
  Modify Pricing Procedure: If the pricing procedure allows for a zero price inappropriately, you may need to adjust the configuration. This involves checking the pricing procedure settings in SPRO (SAP Customizing Implementation Guide) under Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Pricing > Pricing Control.
  Consult Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific condition type to understand its requirements and constraints regarding pricing.
  User Training: Ensure that users involved in pricing and condition record maintenance are trained to avoid entering zero prices where they are not allowed.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Condition Types: Familiarize yourself with the different condition types in SAP and their allowed values. Some condition types may inherently require a non-zero value.
  Pricing Procedure: Understand how the pricing procedure is structured and how it processes different condition types. This can help in troubleshooting similar issues in the future.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling pricing conditions.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP's official documentation for further assistance.
