  The SAP error message R7363 indicates that an InfoCube contains more than one dimension of a specific type, which is not allowed. This typically occurs when you have defined multiple dimensions in an InfoCube that share the same characteristics or attributes, leading to ambiguity in the data model.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Dimensions: The InfoCube has been defined with more than one dimension that is of the same type (e.g., multiple time dimensions, multiple product dimensions).
  Modeling Error: During the design of the InfoCube, dimensions may have been incorrectly defined or duplicated.
  Inconsistent Data Model: The data model may not adhere to the rules of dimensional modeling, leading to conflicts.
  
  Solution:

  Ensure that each dimension in the InfoCube is unique and serves a distinct purpose.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Data Model:
  
  If necessary, redesign the InfoCube to ensure that it adheres to best practices in dimensional modeling.
  Consider whether you need to create separate InfoCubes or use other structures (like DataStore Objects) to handle the data appropriately.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the InfoCube:
  
  After making the necessary changes, re-activate the InfoCube to ensure that the changes take effect.
