  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VF_PRC_API030 - Price element &1: Scope of check &2 is not supported ?

    The SAP error message:

    VF_PRC_API030 Price element &1: Scope of check &2 is not supported

    typically occurs during billing document processing, specifically when the system tries to perform a pricing check or validation on a price element but encounters an unsupported or undefined "scope of check."


    Explanation / Cause

    • Price element &1: This refers to a specific pricing condition or element in the billing document.
    • Scope of check &2: This indicates the type or scope of validation or check that the system is trying to perform on the price element.

    The error means that the system encountered a scope of check value that it does not recognize or support for the given price element. This can happen due to:

    1. Incorrect or missing configuration in the pricing procedure or condition technique.
    2. Custom enhancements or user exits that introduce unsupported scope values.
    3. Inconsistent or incomplete master data related to pricing or billing.
    4. Incorrect usage of pricing APIs or function modules that expect certain scope values.

    Where does this error occur?

    • During billing document creation (transaction VF01, VF04, etc.)
    • When pricing routines or user exits (e.g., user exit USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK or BAdIs) are called.
    • When using SAP standard APIs for pricing or billing.

    How to analyze and solve the issue?

    1. Check the exact price element and scope of check values:

      • The message will show the price element (e.g., PR00, K004) and the scope of check (e.g., '01', '02', etc.).
      • Identify which pricing condition or element is causing the problem.
    2. Review pricing procedure and condition types:

      • Go to SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Pricing ? Pricing Control.
      • Check the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document type.
      • Verify the condition types and their configuration.
    3. Check the scope of check configuration:

      • The scope of check is often related to pricing condition control or validation.
      • In some cases, it is controlled via customizing or via user exits/BAdIs.
      • If custom code is involved, check the logic that sets or uses the scope of check.
    4. Debug the pricing routine or API:

      • If the error occurs in a custom enhancement or standard SAP function module, debug to see what scope of check value is passed.
      • Compare with SAP standard values or documentation.
    5. Check OSS Notes and SAP documentation:

      • Search SAP Notes for message VF_PRC_API030.
      • Sometimes SAP releases notes or patches for such issues.
    6. Correct or extend the scope of check:

      • If a custom scope of check is used, ensure it is properly handled in the code.
      • If the scope of check is invalid, correct the source of the value.
