  Authorization Check: Verify that the user making the request has the necessary authorizations to access the data. You can check this in the user roles and authorizations in SAP.
  Debugging: Use transaction /IWFND/ERROR_LOG to check for any errors related to the OData service. This can provide more context on what might be going wrong.
