RSO_RES_QMSGS080 - Details

• The SAP error message RSO_RES_QMSGS080 indicates that there is an ambiguous component definition in the context of a query or report. This typically occurs when there are multiple definitions or instances of a component (like a characteristic or key figure) that the system cannot resolve unambiguously.

  Duplicate Definitions: The most common cause is that there are multiple definitions of the same component in the query or report, which can happen if there are multiple InfoObjects or if the same InfoObject is included in different contexts.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query might be designed in such a way that it references components that are not clearly defined or are overlapping in their definitions.
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been recent changes to the data model (like changes in InfoProviders or InfoObjects), it might lead to ambiguity in how components are interpreted.
  
  
  Solution:
