  Error Message
  VPK1113: There is no billing plan for WBS element &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to create or process a billing document (e.g., billing request, invoice) for a WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) element that does not have an associated billing plan.
  In SAP Project System (PS) integrated with Sales and Distribution (SD), billing plans are used to schedule and manage periodic or milestone-based billing for projects. If the system expects a billing plan for the WBS element but none exists, it throws this error.
  Common causes include:
  
  No billing plan has been created or assigned to the WBS element.
  The billing plan exists but is not active or not correctly linked.
  The billing plan is created but does not cover the billing date or billing event.
  Incorrect or missing configuration in the integration between PS and SD.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that a valid billing plan exists and is correctly assigned to the WBS element.
  Steps to fix:
  
  
  Check if a billing plan exists for the WBS element:
  
  Use transaction CJ20N (Project Builder) to open the project and WBS element.
  Navigate to the Billing Plan tab or check the billing plan assignment.
  Alternatively, use transaction VKOA or VKOA_BILLING_PLAN to display billing plans.
  
  
  
  Create or assign a billing plan if missing:
  
  If no billing plan exists, create one using transaction VKOA or via the project system.
  Define the billing plan type (milestone, periodic, etc.) and billing dates or milestones.
  Assign the billing plan to the WBS element.
  
  
  
  Verify billing plan validity:
  
  Ensure the billing plan covers the billing date or billing event you are trying to process.
  Check that the billing plan is active and not blocked.
  
  
  
  Check integration settings:
  
  Verify that the WBS element is correctly linked to the sales order or contract.
  Confirm that the billing plan is correctly referenced in the sales document.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the billing document:
  
  After correcting the billing plan, try to create or process the billing document again.
