This error indicates that there are multiple entities or elements within a model that share the same name, which leads to ambiguity when the system tries to process or reference them.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Names: The most common cause of this error is that there are two or more entities, properties, or types in your OData model that have the same name.
  Model Definition Issues: If the model is defined programmatically or through a metadata file, there might be a mistake in the naming conventions or definitions.
  Inconsistent Naming: Sometimes, naming conventions are not followed consistently across different parts of the model, leading to duplicates.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Duplicates: Review the OData model definition to identify where the duplicate names are occurring. This can be done by checking the entity types, properties, and navigation properties.
  Rename Entities/Properties: Once you identify the duplicates, rename them to ensure that each entity or property has a unique name. This may involve changing the name in the data model and ensuring that any references to these entities/properties are updated accordingly.
  Regenerate the Model: If you are using a tool to generate the model, regenerate it after making the necessary changes to ensure that the model reflects the updates.
  Check Metadata: If you are using metadata files, ensure that they are correctly defined and do not contain duplicate entries.
  Test the Changes: After making the changes, test the OData service to ensure that the error is resolved and that the service behaves as expected.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Gateway: This error is often encountered when working with SAP Gateway services, which expose business data as OData services.
