  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_CP131 Internal ABAP type kind not set typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway or OData services. This error indicates that there is an issue with the internal representation of an ABAP type, which is not properly defined or recognized by the system.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Issues: The error often arises when there is a mismatch or an undefined data type in the ABAP code or in the OData service definition.
  Model Definition Problems: If the OData model is not correctly defined or if there are inconsistencies in the metadata, it can lead to this error.
  Service Registration Issues: If the OData service is not properly registered or activated in the SAP Gateway, it may lead to this error.

  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Review the ABAP code and ensure that all data types are correctly defined and initialized. Make sure that the types used in the OData service match the expected types in the ABAP backend.

  Regenerate the Service: If you have made changes to the underlying ABAP code or the OData model, regenerate the service using the Service Builder.
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or inconsistencies. Ensure that all necessary objects have been transported correctly.
