  The SAP error message EEDMIDESERVPROV101 indicates that there is an issue with the service type configuration in the SAP system. Specifically, it means that the service type you are trying to define or modify is already set as the leading service type in the system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when configuring service providers or service types in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Definition: The service type you are trying to define is already defined as the leading service type in the system.

  Modify Existing Service Type:

  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation related to service types and service providers to understand the constraints and requirements for defining service types.
