  SAP Error Message:
  VF_PRC_API015: Pricing type &1 is not supported (header ID &2, item ID &3).
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs during the billing document creation or pricing procedure when the system encounters a pricing type in the billing document that is not supported or recognized by the pricing procedure or the billing API being used.
  
  Pricing type &1: This is the pricing type code that caused the error.
  Header ID &2: The billing document header number.
  Item ID &3: The billing document item number.
  
  The pricing type is typically a code that defines how a particular pricing condition or calculation is handled in the billing process. If the pricing type is not configured or allowed in the pricing procedure or the billing API, the system throws this error.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  Unsupported Pricing Type in Billing: The pricing type used in the condition record or pricing procedure is not supported by the billing API or the billing document type.
  Incorrect or Missing Configuration: The pricing type might not be maintained in the customizing for billing or pricing procedures.
  Custom Pricing Types: If custom pricing types are created but not properly integrated or supported in the billing process.
  Inconsistent Pricing Procedure: The pricing procedure assigned to the billing document type or sales document type does not include or support the pricing type.
  Incorrect Condition Records: Condition records might have pricing types that are not valid for billing.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix:
  
  
  Check Pricing Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction V/06 (Maintain Pricing Types) and verify if the pricing type &1 exists and is correctly configured.
  Ensure that the pricing type is supported for billing.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure:
  
  Verify the pricing procedure assigned to the billing document type (transaction VOFA or V/08).
  Ensure that the pricing procedure includes the pricing type &1.
  If the pricing type is custom, make sure it is integrated properly into the pricing procedure.
  
  
  
  Check Condition Records:
  
  Use transaction VK13 to check condition records for the pricing type.
  Ensure that the condition records are valid and assigned to the correct sales area and document types.
  
  
  
  Check Billing Document Type Configuration:
  
  Verify the billing document type configuration (transaction VOFA).
  Ensure that the billing document type supports the pricing procedure and pricing types used.
  
  
  
  Debugging / Analysis:
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, debugging the billing pricing routine or the API function module (e.g., SD_BILLING_DOCUMENT_CREATE or related user exits) might be necessary to identify why the pricing type is rejected.
