  The SAP error message ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_ODP205 indicates that there is an issue with a navigation attribute in the context of the SAP Enterprise Search or SAP HANA modeling. Specifically, it states that the navigation attribute you are trying to use must refer to an ODP (Operational Data Provisioning) field that has selection support enabled.
  Cause:

  Ensure that the field is correctly defined in the ODP settings.
  
  
  
  Modify Navigation Attribute:
  
  If the navigation attribute is incorrectly set, you may need to modify it to point to a valid ODP field that has selection support.
  You can do this in the modeling tools or the relevant configuration area in SAP.
  
  
  
  Review Data Source:
  
  Check the underlying data source to ensure that it is configured correctly and that the necessary fields are available for selection.
