  Split the Posting: If you need to post services that belong to the same category, consider splitting them into separate postings. This way, each posting will only contain unique service categories.
  Check Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to service management. Consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to ensure that the settings align with your business processes.
  User Training: Provide training to users on how to correctly enter service categories to avoid duplication in the future.
