  The SAP error message M8302 ("Price = 0 not allowed") typically occurs in the context of materials management, particularly when dealing with purchasing or inventory management processes. This error indicates that a transaction is attempting to process a material or item with a price of zero, which is not permitted in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Zero Price in Master Data: The material master record may have a price set to zero. This can happen if the price was not maintained or if it was incorrectly set during data entry.
  Pricing Conditions: The pricing conditions in the purchasing info record or the condition records may not be set up correctly, leading to a zero price being determined during the transaction.
  Contract or Agreement Issues: If a purchasing contract or agreement is set up with a zero price, it can trigger this error when trying to create a purchase order or goods receipt.
