  The SAP error message UA_SM1067 indicates that an alternative field name (often used in the context of data dictionary objects like tables, views, or structures) has been assigned more than once. This typically occurs when there are duplicate entries for an alternative field name in the data dictionary, which can lead to confusion and inconsistencies in data handling.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Assignments: The most common cause of this error is that the same alternative field name has been assigned to multiple fields or elements within a structure or table.
  Data Dictionary Changes: If changes were made to the data dictionary (like adding or modifying fields), it might have inadvertently led to duplicate alternative names.

  Solution:
  
  Check Data Dictionary: Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check the relevant table or structure for alternative field names. Look for any duplicates and resolve them by ensuring that each alternative field name is unique.
  Modify Field Names: If you find duplicates, you will need to modify the alternative field names to ensure that each one is unique. This may involve renaming fields or changing their alternative names.
  Transport Management: If the issue arose due to transport, ensure that the transport requests are correctly managed and that no duplicates are being transported.
  Consistency Check: After making changes, perform a consistency check on the data dictionary to ensure that there are no further issues.
