  The SAP error message CK_MCSO029, which states "Item is not relevant for billing," typically occurs in the context of billing documents, particularly when dealing with sales orders, delivery documents, or billing documents in SAP. This error indicates that the specific item in question is not set up to be billed, which can be due to several reasons.
  Causes:

  Pricing Conditions: If there are issues with pricing conditions (e.g., missing or incorrect pricing), the item may be marked as not relevant for billing.
