  Review Pricing Conditions: Check the pricing conditions associated with the transaction. Ensure that the conditions are set up correctly and that they allow for valid price entries.
  
  
  Configuration Review: If you have access to the configuration settings, review the pricing procedure and conditions to ensure they are set up correctly. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant.
  
  
  Error Handling: If the zero price is intentional (for example, in a promotional scenario), you may need to adjust the pricing procedure to allow for zero prices, if applicable.
