• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_SB_SR006 - Service '&1' is already referred in current project ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_SB_SR006 indicates that a service is already referenced in the current project. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway or OData service development, where a service is being added or modified in a project, but it has already been included in the project.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Reference: The service you are trying to add is already included in the project.
  Project Configuration: The project may have been configured to include the service, either explicitly or implicitly.
  Development Environment: You might be working in a development environment where the service is already linked to another project or has been previously activated.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing References: 
  
  Go to the project in the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW).
  Check the list of services already included in the project. If the service is already listed, you do not need to add it again.
  
  
  
  Remove Duplicate Reference:
  
  If you find that the service is indeed already referenced and you want to make changes, you may need to remove the existing reference before adding it again.

  Use the Correct Project:
  
  Ensure that you are working in the correct project. If you have multiple projects, verify that you are not trying to add the service to a different project where it is already included.
  
  
  
  Check for Activation:
  
  If you have made changes to the service, ensure that it is activated properly. Sometimes, activation issues can lead to confusion regarding service references.
