    Error Message
    VPKGUI027: Cannot create a billing request. Use the Release Billing Proposal app.
    
    Cause
    This error occurs when you try to create a billing request directly from a delivery or sales document, but the system is configured to require that billing proposals be released first before billing requests can be created.
