  The SAP error message FIN_ODATA_GL029 indicates that there is an issue with the time filter being used in an OData query related to financial data. Specifically, it suggests that the query is trying to use a time filter that is not allowed, and only fiscal year periods or fiscal years are permitted.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  The OData service is expecting a filter that specifies either a fiscal year or a fiscal year period, but the provided filter does not meet this requirement.
  The query might be using a date range or a different time format that is incompatible with the expected input for the financial data being queried.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Instead of using a date range like 2023-01-01 to 2023-01-31, use the fiscal year or fiscal year period.
  
  
  
  Refer to Documentation: Check the documentation for the specific OData service you are using. It may provide additional details on the expected format for time filters.
  
  
  Test with Valid Inputs: After making changes, test the query with valid fiscal year or fiscal year period inputs to ensure that it executes without errors.
