  VF_PRC_API001: Application has not been provided.
  
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when the billing document creation process (using the billing API or function module) is triggered without specifying the required Application parameter. In SAP billing, the Application refers to the billing application area, such as SD (Sales and Distribution), FI (Financial Accounting), or others. The system needs this parameter to determine how to process the billing document.
  If the application is missing or not passed correctly to the billing API (e.g., BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEMULTIPLE or similar), the system cannot proceed and throws this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When calling billing APIs or function modules programmatically (e.g., via custom code, user exits, BAdIs).
  When the application parameter is not set or is empty.
  Possibly during mass billing or automated billing runs where parameters are passed dynamically.
