  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBOD141 Entity Set name '&1' not unique typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services. This error indicates that there are multiple entity sets defined with the same name within the same service or model, which violates the uniqueness requirement for entity set names.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entity Set Names: The most common cause of this error is that there are two or more entity sets defined in the same OData service with the same name.
  Model Configuration Issues: Sometimes, the issue can arise from incorrect configuration or merging of models where entity sets might have been unintentionally duplicated.
  Service Definition Errors: If you are using a service definition that includes multiple versions or extensions, it may lead to conflicts in entity set names.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Entity Set Definitions: Review the definitions of your entity sets in the service. Ensure that each entity set has a unique name. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the service definition in the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW).
  Checking the "Entity Sets" section for duplicates.
  
  
  
  Rename Duplicate Entity Sets: If you find duplicate entity sets, rename them to ensure uniqueness. This can be done by:
  
  Right-clicking on the entity set and selecting the option to rename it.
  Updating any references to the renamed entity set in your service.
  
  
  
  Regenerate the Service: After making changes, regenerate the service to ensure that the changes take effect. This can be done by:
  
  Right-clicking on the project in the Service Builder and selecting "Generate".
  
  
  
  Check for Extensions: If you are using extensions or have multiple versions of the same service, ensure that the entity sets in those extensions do not conflict with the base service.
  
  
  Test the Service: After making the necessary changes, test the OData service to ensure that the error is resolved and that the service behaves as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use SEGW for Service Builder, IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE for managing OData services, and IWFND/ERROR_LOG for checking error logs.
