  The SAP error message O8513 indicates that a vehicle (identified by &1) is marked for deletion, but it cannot be deleted due to its current status (indicated by &2).

  Status of the Vehicle: The vehicle may be in a status that does not allow for deletion. For example, it might be in use, have pending transactions, or be linked to other records that prevent its deletion.

  Check Vehicle Status: Review the status of the vehicle in the system. If it is in a status that prevents deletion, you may need to change its status to a permissible one (e.g., from "In Use" to "Inactive").
  Resolve Dependencies: Identify any transactions or records associated with the vehicle. You may need to complete, cancel, or delete these transactions before you can delete the vehicle.
  User Authorization: Ensure that the user attempting to delete the vehicle has the necessary permissions. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust the user roles or permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on vehicle statuses and the implications of each status on deletion.
