• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS120 - & & is defined in multiple DDL sources (&) ?

  The SAP error message DDLS120 indicates that a particular object (like a table, view, or other database object) is defined in multiple Data Definition Language (DDL) sources. This typically occurs when there are conflicting definitions for the same object in different DDL sources, which can lead to ambiguity in the system.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Definitions: The same object is defined in more than one DDL source, which can happen if:
  
  There are multiple transport requests that contain the same object.
  Different development environments have conflicting definitions.
  Manual changes were made to the DDL sources without proper synchronization.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues: If objects are transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), and the same object exists in both systems with different definitions, this error can occur.
  
  
  Namespace Conflicts: If the object is defined in different namespaces or packages, it can lead to conflicts.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Conflicting Definitions: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator)
