  Query Issues: If a query is constructed incorrectly, such as using an unsupported operation or incorrect syntax, it can trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Review the data types defined in your OData service and ensure that they match the expected types in your application. Make sure that the properties being accessed or modified are of the correct type.
  Review Model Definitions: Ensure that the model definitions in your SAP Gateway project are correctly set up. Check for any inconsistencies or errors in the metadata.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the execution and identify where the mismatch occurs. This can help pinpoint the exact location in the code or query that is causing the issue.
  Update Service: If you have made changes to the underlying data model, ensure that you regenerate and activate the OData service to reflect those changes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or community forums for specific guidance related to the error message and context in which it occurs.
