  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_MGW_RT013 indicates that the function import you are trying to call is intended for testing purposes only and does not contain any actual functionality. This is typically encountered in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services.
  Cause:
  
  Testing Functionality: The function import you are trying to access is designed solely for testing and does not perform any operations or return any data.
  Incorrect Usage: You may be trying to use a function import that is not meant to be called in a production or operational context.
  Configuration Issues: There might be a misconfiguration in the OData service or the function import definition.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Function Import Definition: Review the definition of the function import in the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW). Ensure that it is intended for production use and not just for testing.
  Use Correct Functionality: If you need to perform a specific operation, ensure you are calling the correct function import that is designed for that purpose.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the documentation or the development team to understand the intended use of the function import and whether there is an alternative that provides the required functionality.
