  Cause:
  
  Missing Structure Definition: The structure type referenced in your OData service is not defined in the system. This could be due to a missing or incorrectly defined data structure in the ABAP Dictionary.
  Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the structure name in your service definition or implementation.
  Transport Issues: If the structure was recently created or modified, it may not have been transported correctly to the system where the error is occurring.

  Solution:

  Check Namespace:
  
  Ensure that the structure is in the correct namespace and that your service has access to it. If necessary, adjust the namespace settings.
  
  
  
  Regenerate the OData Service:
  
  After making any changes, regenerate the OData service in transaction SEGW. This will ensure that the service reflects the latest definitions.
  
  
  
  Activate the Service:
