  Causes:
  
  Invalid Geometry Data: The geometry data (e.g., points, lines, polygons) may be malformed or not conforming to the expected format or standards (e.g., Simple Features Specification).
  Coordinate System Issues: The geometry may be in a different coordinate system than what the service expects, leading to validation failures.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the underlying data, such as self-intersecting polygons or invalid geometries that do not meet the requirements of the spatial database.
  Service Limitations: The service being called may have specific requirements or limitations regarding the types of geometries it can process.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Validate Geometry: Use tools or functions to validate the geometry data before sending it to the service. This can include checking for self-intersections, ensuring that polygons are closed, and confirming that the data adheres to the expected format.
  Reproject Geometry: If the geometry is in the wrong coordinate system, reproject it to the correct one that the service expects.
  Check Service Documentation: Review the documentation for the service to understand the expected geometry types and formats. Ensure that the data being sent meets these requirements.
  Use GIS Tools: Utilize GIS tools or libraries (like PostGIS, QGIS, etc.) to clean and prepare the geometry data before using it in SAP.
  Error Logging: Implement error logging to capture more details about the geometry that is causing the issue, which can help in diagnosing the problem.
