  The SAP error message V1023 typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) when there is an issue with the copying of item data in a sales document. The error message "For basic item &, more than one item is copied" indicates that the system has detected multiple items being copied into a sales document where only one basic item is expected.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Items with the Same Basic Item: The error usually arises when there are multiple items in the source document (like a quotation or sales order) that share the same basic item number, and the system is trying to copy them into a target document (like a sales order) that only allows one instance of that basic item.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the sales document type or item category that restrict the copying of multiple items.
  Data Integrity Issues: There could be issues with the data integrity in the source document, such as incorrect item categorization or duplication.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Source Document: Review the source document to identify if there are multiple items with the same basic item number. If so, you may need to adjust the document to ensure that only one instance of the basic item is copied.
  Adjust Document Type Settings: If the copying behavior is not as expected, check the configuration settings for the sales document type and item category in the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG). Ensure that the settings allow for the desired copying behavior.
  Manual Entry: If the system does not allow for the automatic copying of multiple items, consider manually entering the required items into the target document.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling this error in your version of SAP.
