Multivariable multilinear homogeneous polynomials with co-prime coefficients representing 1

Suppose $F(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ is a homogeneous polynomial in $n$ variables of degree $m$, which is linear in each of the variables. Suppose further that it has integer relatively prime coefficients. Are there necessary and sufficient conditions on $F$ to guarantee that the equation

$$F(x_1,\dots,x_n) = 1$$

has an integer solution?
