• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ATP_SOT_AMDP_UTILITY053 - Duplicate use of attribute name for sorting ?

  The SAP error message ATP_SOT_AMDP_UTILITY053 Duplicate use of attribute name for sorting typically occurs in the context of Advanced Data Modeling and ABAP Managed Database Procedures (AMDP) when there is an attempt to sort data using attributes that have the same name in the context of a query or data selection.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Duplicate Attribute Names: The same attribute name is being used multiple times in the sorting criteria of a query or data selection. This can happen if the same field is included in the selection or if there are joins that result in the same field being referenced multiple times.
  Ambiguous References: If the query involves multiple tables or views that have fields with the same name, and these fields are not properly qualified with their respective table or alias names, it can lead to ambiguity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Sorting Criteria: Review the sorting criteria in your query or data selection. Ensure that each attribute used for sorting is unique. If you have multiple attributes with the same name, consider renaming them or using aliases to differentiate them.
  
  
  Qualify Attribute Names: If your query involves multiple tables or joins, make sure to qualify the attribute names with their respective table or alias names. For example, instead of just using attribute_name, use table_name.attribute_name or alias.attribute_name.
  
  
  Review Data Model: If you are using a data model that includes multiple sources, ensure that the attributes are defined clearly and do not overlap in naming.
  
  
  Debugging: If you are unsure where the duplication is occurring, you can debug the AMDP or the query to see the exact point where the error is triggered. This can help you identify the specific attributes causing the issue.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are using specific SAP modules or features, consult the relevant SAP documentation or community forums for additional guidance on handling attribute naming and sorting.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  AMDP Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation on AMDP for best practices and guidelines on attribute naming and sorting.
