  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_ANNO062 typically occurs in the context of OData services when there is an issue with the way an IsOf expression is being used in your OData query. This error indicates that the system is unable to create a simple value for the IsOf expression, which is often related to type handling or the structure of the data being queried.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Type Handling: The IsOf expression is used to check if an entity is of a specific type. If the type specified in the IsOf expression does not match any of the entity types defined in the OData service, this error can occur.
  Data Model Issues: There may be inconsistencies or misconfigurations in the data model, such as missing or incorrectly defined entity types or inheritance hierarchies.
  Service Metadata: The OData service metadata might not be correctly exposing the entity types, leading to issues when the client tries to interpret the types.

  Solution:
  
  Check Entity Types: Verify that the entity types you are using in the IsOf expression are correctly defined in the OData service. Ensure that the type exists and is properly configured in the service's metadata.

  Validate OData Query: Review the OData query for any syntax errors. Ensure that the IsOf expression is used correctly according to the OData protocol.
  Update Service Metadata: If there have been recent changes to the data model, regenerate the OData service metadata to ensure it reflects the current state of the model.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools or logs to trace the execution of the OData service and identify where the error is occurring. This can provide insights into what might be going wrong.
