  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message VF_PRC_API021:
  
  Error Message
  VF_PRC_API021:
  
  'Pricing Complete' with request for delayed pricing is not supported.
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during the billing document creation process in SAP when the system tries to process a billing document with pricing complete indicator set, but the billing document is also flagged for delayed pricing.
  
  Delayed Pricing means that the pricing is not determined at the time of billing document creation but is postponed to a later time.
  Pricing Complete means that the pricing procedure is fully executed and finalized during billing.
  
  These two settings are mutually exclusive:
  
  You cannot have a billing document where pricing is both complete and delayed.
  If the system detects that pricing is complete but the billing document is flagged for delayed pricing, it throws this error.
  
  
  When does this happen?
  
  When using billing APIs or standard transaction VF01/VF04 and the pricing procedure or billing type settings are inconsistent.
  When the billing type or billing document is set to delayed pricing, but the pricing procedure or user exit/custom code tries to finalize pricing immediately.
  Sometimes occurs in custom developments or enhancements where pricing is forced complete but delayed pricing flag is still set.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Billing Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction VOFA (Billing Types).
  Check the billing type used for the billing document.
  Verify the "Pricing complete" indicator and "Delayed pricing" indicator.
  These two should not be set simultaneously for the same billing type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Billing Document Settings:
  
  If delayed pricing is required, ensure that the pricing complete indicator is not set.
  If pricing is to be completed immediately, ensure delayed pricing is not requested.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code or User Exits:
  
  Check if any user exits or BAdIs (e.g., SD_BILLING_DOCUMENT_SAVE, PRICING_EXIT) are forcing pricing complete or delayed pricing inconsistently.
  Adjust the logic to maintain consistency.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure and Condition Records:
  
  Ensure that the pricing procedure assigned to the billing type supports the intended pricing behavior.
  If delayed pricing is used, pricing procedure should allow for it.
  
  
  
  Recreate Billing Document:
  
  After correcting the settings, recreate the billing document.
