  The SAP error message OIJ_NOM072 indicates that there is an issue with a reference document and its associated schedule lines. Specifically, it means that the system has detected that the reference document (identified by &1) and the specific item (identified by &2) contain more than one schedule line, which is not allowed in the context of the operation you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Schedule Lines: The primary cause of this error is that the referenced document item has multiple schedule lines, which can occur in scenarios such as sales orders, purchase orders, or stock transport orders.
  Incorrect Document Type: The document type being processed may not support multiple schedule lines for the operation you are attempting.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been an error during data entry or document creation that resulted in multiple schedule lines being created unintentionally.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Reference Document: Review the reference document (identified by &1) and the specific item (identified by &2) to see how many schedule lines are associated with it. You can do this by navigating to the document in the relevant transaction (e.g., VA03 for sales orders, ME23N for purchase orders).
  
  
  Consolidate Schedule Lines: If the business process allows, consider consolidating the schedule lines into a single line. This may involve adjusting quantities or delivery dates to ensure that only one schedule line exists for the item.
  
  
  Adjust Document Type: If the document type you are using does not support multiple schedule lines, consider using a different document type that does, if applicable.
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: If the issue arose from incorrect data entry, correct the entries in the reference document to ensure that only one schedule line exists for the item.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines related to the document type and the handling of schedule lines.
