  Cause:
  
  
  Invalid Enumeration Value: The error indicates that a value being passed for an enumeration type is not recognized. This could happen if:
  
  The value does not exist in the defined enumeration.
  There is a typo or mismatch in the value being sent.
  The enumeration has been changed or updated, and the old values are no longer valid.
  
  
  
  Data Model Issues: If the data model has been modified (e.g., changes in the underlying database or service definitions), it may lead to inconsistencies that trigger this error.
  
  
  Service Definition Issues: If the OData service is not properly defined or if there are issues with the metadata, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Enumeration Values: Verify the enumeration definition in the ABAP code or the data model. Ensure that the value being passed is valid and exists in the enumeration.

  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the execution and identify where the invalid value is being set. This can help pinpoint the source of the problem.
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues: If the system has recently undergone a transport, ensure that all relevant objects have been transported correctly and that there are no inconsistencies between development and production environments.
