  Duplicate Service Registration: The service you are trying to register has already been registered in the system.
  Incorrect Service Name: You might be using the wrong service name or trying to create a service with a name that is already in use.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Services:
  
  Use transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE to check the list of existing OData services. Look for the service name you are trying to create.

  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If you suspect that the service was transported from another system, check the transport requests to see if the service was included.
  
  
  
  Re-register the Service:
  
  If you have made changes to the service definition and need to re-register it, ensure that you have removed the old registration first.
