  The SAP error message FDT_CORE223 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a data structure in the context of Field Data Tool (FDT) or similar data handling processes. Specifically, the error states that you are trying to supply more than one of the following options for a given position: structure, table, or element. This means that the system expects only one of these types to be defined for that specific position, but multiple definitions have been provided.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The most common cause of this error is an incorrect configuration in the data model where multiple definitions (structure, table, or element) are assigned to the same position.
  Data Mapping Issues: If you are mapping data from one source to another, there may be a conflict in how the data is structured or defined.
  Versioning Issues: Sometimes, if there are multiple versions of a data structure, it can lead to confusion about which definition is being used.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Configuration: Go to the configuration settings where the error is occurring. Check the specific position indicated in the error message (position &1) and ensure that only one of structure, table, or element is defined.
  Correct Data Model: If you find that multiple definitions are present, remove or adjust the conflicting definitions so that only one is present for that position.
  Check Data Mapping: If this error arises during data mapping, review the mapping rules to ensure that they are correctly defined and do not conflict with each other.
  Test Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error is resolved and that the data processing works as expected.
