• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message J1JP021 - Net price is zero for purchase info record ?

  The SAP error message J1JP021, which states "Net price is zero for purchase info record," typically occurs in the context of purchasing and procurement processes in SAP, particularly when dealing with the J1J (India-specific) module for excise duty and related transactions.
  Cause:
  The error indicates that the system is trying to process a purchase order or a related document where the net price for the purchase info record (PIR) is set to zero. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Pricing Conditions: The pricing conditions for the material in the info record may not be maintained correctly, leading to a zero net price.
  Incorrect Info Record: The info record being referenced may not have valid pricing data or may not be set up correctly for the vendor and material combination.
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been an error during data entry, resulting in a zero price being saved in the info record.
  Inactive or Expired Info Record: The info record may be inactive or expired, which can lead to the system not retrieving the correct pricing information.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the J1JP021 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Purchase Info Record:
  
  Go to transaction code ME13 (Display Info Record) and enter the relevant vendor and material.
  Verify that the net price is maintained and is not zero. If it is zero, you will need to update the info record with the correct pricing.
  
  
  
  Maintain Pricing Conditions:
  
  If the pricing conditions are missing, you can maintain them using transaction code ME11 (Create Info Record) or ME12 (Change Info Record).
  Ensure that the pricing conditions (like PB00 for base price) are correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Review Validity Dates:
  
  Check the validity dates of the info record to ensure that it is active and applicable for the current date.
  
  
  
  Check for Other Pricing Elements:
  
  Ensure that other pricing elements (like discounts, surcharges, etc.) are also correctly maintained and do not lead to a zero net price.
  
  
  
  Consult with the Purchasing Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct pricing or how to maintain the info record, consult with your purchasing or procurement team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to create or process the purchase order again to see if the error persists.
