• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACM065 - Field &1 of entity &2 can only be used once within PFCG mapping &3 ?

  The SAP error message ACM065 indicates that there is a problem with the mapping of fields in the Profile Generator (PFCG) for roles and authorizations. Specifically, it means that a particular field (denoted as &1) of a specific entity (denoted as &2) is being used more than once in the mapping for a particular role (denoted as &3). This is not allowed, as each field must be unique within the context of the mapping.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Field Mapping: The most common cause of this error is that the same field has been mapped multiple times for the same entity in the PFCG role definition.
  Incorrect Role Configuration: There may be an oversight in the configuration of the role, where the same field is inadvertently included more than once.
  Changes in Authorization Objects: If there have been recent changes to the authorization objects or the way they are structured, it may lead to conflicts in the mapping.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Role Mapping: Go to the PFCG transaction and review the role mapping for the specified role. Look for the field mentioned in the error message and check if it has been mapped more than once.
  Remove Duplicate Entries: If you find that the field is indeed mapped multiple times, remove the duplicate entry so that each field is only used once.
  Check Related Entities: Ensure that the field is not being used in a way that conflicts with other entities or fields in the same role.
  Save and Generate the Role: After making the necessary changes, save the role and regenerate it to ensure that the changes take effect.
