Joe, make sure you're not confusing the Navigational Category form with the Browse for Service Details form. This may be why you have duplicates.

Anyway did anyone of you have problems where the borad Navigation Category got duplicated in the Request Entry console? What I had done was entered a few Navigation categories and before adding SRD's felt the need to modify some of the Navigational Categories.. After modifying them, where the first tier was changed, it dupliacted two sets of the first tier, one containing all the older subcategories, and the other containing the newly entered subcategories.. Where is this list of Service Categories being read from? I know the navigational categories is where you configure them, but obviously its not reading this list from there directly..

I was hoping for a tool to import the rest to make life a bit easier! I wonder if it would be too hard to build such a tool from scratch than to enter 900 billion configuration records by hand :-) Okay its not that much but you know what I mean.. 200 is a lot too and a lot more uninteresting to do manually than developing some ARS code to facilitate the same thing.. Are you or anyone reading this post, aware of any 'behind the curtains' kind of a document about SRM that may be useful if one were to attempt to build such tools?

(Ref: Page 324 of SRM 2.2 Admin Guide) In our case, it was ITSP 3 Request Management to ITSM SRM 2.2. We had to manually create AOT's and associate the Work Order Template to the AOT, then create PDT and SRD.
