  The SAP error message /LIME/CORE127 Item &1: Location and TOP_LEVEL cannot both be set at the same time typically occurs in the context of SAP's Logistics Information Management Environment (LIME) or similar modules where item data is being processed. This error indicates a conflict in the data being provided for an item, specifically that both a location and a top-level indicator are being set simultaneously, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  An item is being defined or processed with both a specific location (e.g., a warehouse or storage location) and a top-level indicator (which usually signifies a higher-level grouping or category).
  The system is designed to treat these two attributes as mutually exclusive, meaning you cannot specify both for the same item.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Review the Item Data: Check the data being submitted for the item in question (indicated by &1). Ensure that you are not setting both the location and the top-level indicator at the same time.
  Modify the Input: Depending on your business requirements, decide whether to:
  
  Remove the location if you want the item to be treated as a top-level item.
  Remove the top-level indicator if you want to specify a location for the item.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, reprocess the item to see if the error persists.
