• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_MED083 - Property '&1' has the same EDM name as complex type '&2' ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_MED083 indicates that there is a naming conflict in your OData service definition. Specifically, it means that a property in your entity type has the same name as a complex type, which can lead to ambiguity in the OData model.
  Cause:
  
  Naming Conflict: The property &1 (the placeholder for the property name) is conflicting with the name of a complex type &2 (the placeholder for the complex type name). This typically happens when you have defined a property in an entity type that shares the same name as a complex type in the same namespace.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Rename the Property or Complex Type:
  
  Change the name of the property in your entity type or the name of the complex type to ensure that they are unique. This is the most straightforward solution.
  Ensure that the new name adheres to naming conventions and does not conflict with other existing names.
  
  
  
  Check the Data Model:
  
  Review your data model to identify where the conflict is occurring. Look for the definitions of both the property and the complex type.
  Make sure that the naming is consistent and does not lead to confusion.
  
  
  
  Regenerate the OData Service:
  
  After making the necessary changes, regenerate the OData service to ensure that the changes are reflected in the service metadata.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Once the changes are made and the service is regenerated, test the OData service to ensure that the error is resolved and that the service behaves as expected.
