  The SAP error message CMM_TRM_DEND073 indicates that there is a conflict in the definition of a procedure within the system. Specifically, it means that a procedure (identified by &1) has already been defined for a specific purpose (identified by &2), and you are attempting to define it again for the same purpose. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with configuration settings, workflows, or other procedural definitions in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Definition: The procedure you are trying to define already exists in the system for the specified purpose.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misunderstanding of the purpose for which the procedure is being defined, leading to an attempt to redefine it.

  Delete or Modify Existing Procedure: If the existing procedure is no longer needed, you may consider deleting it or modifying it to fit your current needs.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly define procedures and avoid conflicts.
