• SAP Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE114: Field name already exists
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create or add a field with a name that already exists in the same context or structure. In SAP, field names within a particular data structure, table, or view must be unique. Attempting to define a field with a duplicate name leads to this error.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Adding a field to a structure or table where the field name is already used.
  Creating or modifying a data element or structure in ABAP Dictionary with a duplicate field name.
  Defining fields in Web Service Data (WSD) or other metadata where field names must be unique.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Duplicate Field Names:
  
  Review the structure, table, or data element where you are adding the field.
  Verify if the field name you want to add already exists.
  
  
  
  Rename the Field:
  
  Choose a unique field name that does not conflict with existing fields.
  Follow naming conventions to avoid conflicts.
