• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_DEPLOYMENT130 - Ambiguous position of column &1 in new deployment version ?

  The SAP error message FDT_DEPLOYMENT130 indicates that there is an ambiguous position of a column in a new deployment version of a form or data model. This typically occurs when there are multiple definitions or mappings for the same column in the context of a form or data model deployment, leading to confusion about which definition should be used.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Column Definitions: The same column may be defined in multiple places, leading to ambiguity.

  Review Column Definitions: Check the definitions of the columns in the data model or form. Ensure that each column has a unique definition and that there are no duplicates.
  Update Deployment Version: If changes have been made to the data model, ensure that the deployment version is updated accordingly. This may involve re-deploying the form or data model.
  Check for Conflicts: Look for any conflicting definitions in the data model or form. Resolve any conflicts by consolidating definitions or renaming columns as necessary.
