This error indicates that the system has detected that the total amount for a transaction is zero, which is not permissible for the operation being performed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Zero Amount Transaction: The most common cause is that the transaction being processed has a total amount of zero. This could happen if:
  
  An invoice or payment document was created with no line items or all line items have been set to zero.
