  Review Integration Settings: Check the integration settings or configurations that might be causing the duplication. This could involve reviewing the data mapping, transformation rules, or any custom logic that might be generating the aliases.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module or integration scenario you are working with. There may be specific guidelines or best practices for handling aliases in that context.
