  The SAP error message /LIME/PI_CORE143 indicates that there is an issue with the uniqueness of the document number being processed in the system. This error typically arises in the context of document processing in SAP, particularly when dealing with integration scenarios or when using the SAP Process Integration (PI) or Process Orchestration (PO) components.
  Cause:
  The error message suggests that the system has received multiple entries for the same document number, which is expected to be unique. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Duplicate Document Submission: The same document might have been submitted multiple times, either due to a system error or a user action.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the integration scenario, leading to the same document being processed multiple times.
  Data Consistency Issues: There might be inconsistencies in the data being sent to the SAP system, causing it to interpret the same document as different entries.
  Concurrency Issues: If multiple processes are trying to handle the same document simultaneously, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check for Duplicates: Review the documents being processed to ensure that there are no duplicates. This can involve checking logs or the database for entries with the same document number.
  Review Integration Configuration: Ensure that the configuration for the integration scenario is set up correctly. This includes checking mappings, routing, and any other relevant settings.
  Implement Idempotency: If applicable, implement idempotency in your integration logic to ensure that duplicate submissions do not lead to errors. This means that processing the same document multiple times should not cause issues.
  Error Handling: Enhance error handling in your integration processes to manage duplicates gracefully, possibly by ignoring duplicates or logging them for further review.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP you are using for any known issues or patches that might address this error.
