  The SAP error message SCMIS_OUTBOUND_API006 indicates that there is more than one document found in the repository for a specific document key. This typically occurs in scenarios where the system is trying to retrieve a document (such as a purchase order, sales order, etc.) but finds multiple entries that match the provided key, leading to ambiguity.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause is that there are duplicate entries in the document repository for the specified document key. This can happen due to data inconsistencies, errors during data entry, or issues during data migration.
  Incorrect Document Key: The document key being used may not be unique or may have been incorrectly specified, leading to multiple matches.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the document management system or the way documents are indexed and stored.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Duplicates: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SE16 or SE11 to access the relevant database tables and check for duplicate entries for the document key in question.
  Identify and resolve any duplicates by either deleting or archiving the unnecessary entries.
  
  
  
  Verify Document Key: 
  
  Ensure that the document key being used in the API call is correct and corresponds to a single document.
  If the key is generated dynamically, check the logic that generates it to ensure it produces unique keys.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup: 
  
  If duplicates are found, perform a data cleanup to ensure that only one valid entry exists for each document key.
  This may involve working with your data management team to establish a process for maintaining data integrity.
