  SAP Error Message: VQ237 - One step is needed for cumulative check against product allocations
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the sales order or delivery processing when the system tries to perform a cumulative check against product allocations, but the allocation check is not fully completed in one step. The system expects the cumulative check to be done in a single step, but the current configuration or process is causing it to be split or incomplete.

  When does it occur?
  
  During sales order creation or change.
  When product allocation checks are active.
  When cumulative checks are configured but not properly set up to run in one step.
