  The SAP error message /PLMPCV/QRM714 typically indicates that there is a conflict with the sort sequence number of a result attribute in a query. This error occurs when you attempt to use a sort sequence number that has already been assigned to another attribute in the same query.

  Review Query Logic:
  
  If the query is complex, consider simplifying it or breaking it down into smaller parts to identify where the conflict arises.
