• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VF_PRC_API028 - Price element &1: Scope of check 'B' (No checks) is not supported yet ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  VF_PRC_API028 Price element &1: Scope of check 'B' (No checks) is not supported yet
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the pricing procedure determination or pricing element processing in billing (transaction VF01/VF02) or pricing API calls. The system encounters a price element with a scope of check 'B', which stands for "No checks" or a special/custom scope that the standard SAP pricing engine or API does not support yet.
  
  The scope of check defines how the system validates or processes a particular price element.
  Scope 'B' is not a standard scope supported by the SAP standard pricing routines or APIs.
  This can happen if custom developments or enhancements have introduced a new scope of check that the standard SAP logic does not recognize.
  Alternatively, it may be caused by inconsistent or incorrect configuration in pricing procedures or condition types.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Pricing Condition Types and Scopes:
  
  Go to transaction V/06 (Define Condition Types) or V/08 (Pricing Procedure).
  Verify the scope of check assigned to the condition types involved in the billing document.
  Ensure that no condition type is assigned scope 'B' unless it is supported by your system or custom logic.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Enhancements or User Exits:
  
  If your system has custom enhancements (user exits, BADIs, or custom pricing APIs), check if any of them introduce or expect scope 'B'.
  Adjust the custom code to handle scope 'B' properly or avoid using unsupported scopes.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Check SAP Notes for any updates or patches related to this error.
  Sometimes, SAP releases corrections or enhancements to support additional scopes.
  If no note is available, consider raising a support ticket with SAP.
  
  
  
  Workaround:
  
  Change the scope of check from 'B' to a supported scope such as 'A' (standard checks) or 'C' (check at header level), depending on your business requirements.
  This may require adjusting pricing procedure or condition type configuration.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Scope of Check in Pricing:
  
  Defines how the system validates condition records.
  Common scopes include:
  
  'A' = Check at item level
  'C' = Check at header level
  'B' = No checks (not standard/supported in many SAP versions)
  
  
  
  
  Transactions:
  
  V/06 - Condition Types
  V/08 - Pricing Procedures
  VF01/VF02 - Billing Document Create/Change
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  Search for notes related to VF_PRC_API028 or pricing scope of check errors.
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Debug the pricing routine or API call to see where the scope 'B' is processed.
  Identify the price element causing the issue (message shows &1 = price element).
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error indicates that the pricing engine encountered a price element with a scope of check 'B', which is currently unsupported. The solution involves reviewing and correcting the pricing configuration or custom code to avoid using unsupported scopes or implementing support for scope 'B' if required.
