  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Definition: The most common cause of this error is that the same complex type has been defined multiple times in the same OData service or in different versions of the service.
  Importing Artifacts: If you are importing artifacts (like service definitions or metadata) that contain complex types, and those types already exist in the target system, this error can occur.
  Namespace Conflicts: If there are namespace issues where the same complex type name is used in different namespaces, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Duplicates: Review the definitions of your OData service to ensure that the complex type is not defined more than once. You can do this by checking the service's metadata or the corresponding ABAP classes.
  Rename Complex Types: If you find that there are indeed duplicates, consider renaming one of the complex types to avoid the conflict.
  Delete Unused Types: If there are complex types that are no longer in use, you can delete them from the service definition.
  Check Import/Export: If you are importing or exporting service definitions, ensure that you are not inadvertently bringing in duplicate definitions. You may need to adjust your import settings or clean up the definitions before importing.
  Namespace Management: Ensure that your complex types are properly namespaced to avoid conflicts with other types. This can help prevent naming collisions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to inspect the definitions of your complex types.
