• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACM_SYNTAX148 - The consecutive use of the same PFCG mapping &1 is not supported ?

  The SAP error message ACM_SYNTAX148 indicates that there is an issue with the mapping of roles in the Profile Generator (PFCG). Specifically, it occurs when the same PFCG mapping is used consecutively, which is not supported by the system. This can happen when you are trying to assign multiple roles or profiles that have overlapping or identical mappings.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Role Assignments: The same role or profile is being assigned multiple times in a single transaction or configuration.

  System Limitations: The SAP system has restrictions on how roles can be mapped to avoid conflicts and ensure proper authorization checks.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Role Assignments: Check the roles you are trying to assign and ensure that you are not duplicating any role assignments. Remove any duplicate entries.
  Modify Role Configuration: If the roles are configured incorrectly, you may need to adjust the role definitions to avoid overlapping mappings.
  Use Unique Mappings: Ensure that each role or profile has a unique mapping and that they do not reference the same PFCG mapping consecutively.
  Check Authorization Objects: Review the authorization objects within the roles to ensure they are not causing conflicts.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to PFCG and role management for any specific guidelines or updates.
