  The SAP error message CM_ODATA_PP_POR003 typically occurs when you are trying to filter or query data using OData services in SAP, and the filter criteria you are using is not valid. This error indicates that the system only allows single values or ranges for the specified field, and you may be attempting to use an unsupported operation, such as multiple discrete values or complex expressions.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Filter Syntax: The filter expression you are using may include multiple values or complex conditions that are not supported by the OData service.
  Field Limitations: The specific field you are trying to filter may only support single values or ranges, and you may be trying to use an "IN" clause or similar that is not allowed.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Filter Criteria: Review the filter criteria you are using in your OData query. Ensure that you are only using single values or ranges. For example, instead of using field eq 'value1' or field eq 'value2', you should use a range or a single value.
  Example of a valid range:
  field ge 'value1' and field le 'value2'
  
  
  Use Supported Operations: If you need to filter by multiple values, consider restructuring your query to use ranges or separate queries for each value.
  
  
  Review OData Service Documentation: Check the documentation for the specific OData service you are using to understand the limitations and supported operations for filtering.
  
  
  Test with Simple Queries: Start with a simple query to ensure that the OData service is functioning correctly, and then gradually add complexity to identify where the error occurs.
