  The SAP error message USMD1032 indicates that there is a naming conflict in the data model you are working with. Specifically, it points out that an attribute and a relationship within the same entity type have the same name, which is not allowed in SAP Master Data Governance (MDG).
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  An attribute (field) and a relationship (link to another entity) within the same entity type share the same name. This can happen during the design phase of the data model when defining attributes and relationships without ensuring unique naming conventions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that all attributes and relationships within the same entity type have unique names. Here are the steps to fix the issue:
  
  
  Identify the Conflict: 
  
  Check the data model definition for the entity type mentioned in the error message. Look for the attribute and relationship that share the same name.
  
  
  
  Rename the Attribute or Relationship:
  
  Choose one of the conflicting names to rename. It is generally advisable to rename the relationship if it is less critical or if it can be easily modified without affecting other parts of the model.
  Ensure that the new name is unique and follows any naming conventions established in your organization.
  
  
  
  Update References:
  
  If the renamed attribute or relationship is referenced elsewhere in your model or in any business logic, make sure to update those references accordingly.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the changes, test the data model to ensure that the error is resolved and that the model behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document the changes made to maintain clarity for future reference and for other team members who may work on the data model.
