  The SAP error message STOBJ141 indicates that there is a problem with the field name in a database table that exists multiple times in a specific node. This typically occurs in the context of data dictionary objects, such as when you are trying to create or modify a structure, table, or view in the ABAP Dictionary.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Duplicate Field Names: The field name specified in the error message is defined multiple times within the same structure or table, leading to ambiguity.
  Incorrect Data Model: The data model may have been incorrectly designed, resulting in the same field being defined in multiple places.
  Inconsistent Naming Conventions: If naming conventions are not followed, it can lead to confusion and duplication of field names.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Data Dictionary:
  
  Go to the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check the structure or table that is causing the issue.

  Review Related Structures:
  
  If the field is part of a complex structure or a nested table, ensure that the field names in related structures do not conflict.
  
  
  
  Check for Views:
  
  If you are working with database views, ensure that the fields from the underlying tables do not have the same name unless they are intended to be the same.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If changes are made, ensure that they are included in the appropriate transport requests for consistency across different environments (development, quality assurance, production).
  
  
  
  Testing:
