• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMS_ESOA006 - Use context code 1 for Vehicle Management System ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VMS_ESOA006 Use context code 1 for Vehicle Management System
  
  Cause:
  This error message typically occurs in the SAP Vehicle Management System (VMS) when an incorrect or unsupported context code is used in a transaction or interface related to vehicle data processing. The system expects a specific context code (in this case, context code 1) to correctly identify and process the vehicle-related data.
  The context code is a parameter or indicator that tells the system which business context or scenario is being handled. Using an incorrect context code leads to this error because the system cannot proceed with the operation under an unsupported or unexpected context.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use Context Code 1:
  
  Ensure that the context code parameter is set to 1 when working with the Vehicle Management System. This might involve:
  
  Checking the input data or interface parameters.
  Adjusting the configuration or customizing settings where the context code is defined.
  Modifying the program or user input to pass the correct context code.
  
  
  
  Verify Integration Settings:
  
  If this error occurs during data exchange (e.g., between SAP VMS and other systems or modules), verify that the integration or interface mappings use the correct context code.
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP VMS documentation or notes related to context codes to understand the valid values and their meanings.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SPRO -> Logistics - General -> Vehicle Management -> Basic Settings
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Incorrect context code used in VMS processing; system expects context code = 1.
