  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  VMS_ESOA022 Quantity in vehicle sales order item ( &1 &2 &3 ) is restricted to 1
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in the Vehicle Management System (VMS) or Automotive Sales Order Processing when you try to enter a quantity greater than 1 for a vehicle sales order item. The system restricts the quantity of a vehicle item to exactly 1 because each vehicle is treated as a unique, individual product (with a unique VIN or configuration). Unlike typical sales order items (e.g., spare parts), vehicles cannot be ordered in multiples under the same item line.
  
  &1, &2, &3 are placeholders for the sales order number, item number, and possibly the material or another identifier.
  The system enforces this restriction to ensure that each vehicle is processed individually, maintaining data integrity and traceability.
  
  
  Cause Details:
  
  The sales order item corresponds to a vehicle (usually a configurable product with a unique VIN).
  The system logic or configuration in VMS restricts the quantity to 1.
  Attempting to enter a quantity > 1 violates this business rule.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter quantity = 1 for vehicle sales order items.
  If you need to order multiple vehicles, create multiple sales order items, each with quantity 1.
  Check the sales order item type and ensure it is correctly set as a vehicle item.
  If you are trying to order accessories or spare parts, ensure those are entered as separate items where quantity > 1 is allowed.
  Review the configuration in VMS or sales order processing to confirm that vehicle items are correctly identified and restricted.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This is a standard restriction in automotive industry solutions within SAP to handle vehicle sales.
  The error helps prevent incorrect order processing and downstream issues in production, delivery, and VIN assignment.
  If customization or enhancements are in place, verify that no custom code is overriding this standard behavior.
  For further troubleshooting, check the sales order item category and the material master data for the vehicle.
  Consult SAP documentation or notes related to VMS and vehicle sales order processing for more details.
