  Error Message
  VPK1116: No pricing for WBS element &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to determine pricing for a sales document item that is linked to a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element, but no valid pricing condition records or relevant pricing data exist for that WBS element.
  In other words, the system cannot find any pricing information (condition records) assigned or valid for the WBS element referenced in the sales document or billing document.
  Common reasons include:
  
  No pricing procedure or condition records maintained for the WBS element.
  The WBS element is not correctly assigned or integrated in the pricing determination process.
  The pricing procedure or condition technique does not consider the WBS element as a valid pricing reference.
  Missing or incorrect assignment of the WBS element in the sales order or billing document.
  The WBS element is not released or active in the controlling/project system module.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure and Condition Records:
  
  Verify that pricing condition records exist for the WBS element or the relevant pricing reference.
  Use transaction VK11 / VK12 to maintain condition records.
  Ensure that the condition records are valid for the sales area, date, and WBS element.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure Configuration:
  
  Confirm that the pricing procedure assigned to the sales document type or sales area includes the condition types relevant for WBS elements.
  Check the condition technique and access sequence to ensure the WBS element is included as a valid access key.
  
  
  
  Verify WBS Element Assignment:
  
  Ensure the WBS element is correctly assigned to the sales order or billing document.
  Check if the WBS element is active and released in the Project System (PS) module.
  
  
  
  Check Integration Settings:
  
  Review the integration between SD (Sales and Distribution) and PS (Project System) modules.
  Make sure the system is configured to allow pricing based on WBS elements.
  
  
  
  Check User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  If custom logic is used for pricing determination, verify that it correctly handles WBS elements.
  
  
  
  Test Pricing:
  
  Use transaction VK13 to display condition records.
  Use transaction VA02 or VA03 to check pricing in the sales order.
  Use transaction V/08 to check pricing procedure determination.
