This error typically arises when you are trying to register or configure service providers that are expected to communicate with each other but have been assigned different service types.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the two service providers involved in the transaction or configuration have been set up with different service types.

  Align Service Types:
  
  If you find that the service types are different, you will need to change one of the service providers to match the other. This may involve:

  Ensuring that both service providers are set up for the same type of service (e.g., both should be inbound or both should be outbound).
  
  
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the service providers can communicate effectively.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
