  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_APPS080 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of an OData service, specifically related to an entity set that is not properly maintained as a target for a specified action. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services when trying to execute an action on an entity set that has not been defined or configured correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Entity Set Not Defined: The entity set specified in the error message (&1) is not defined in the OData service.
  Action Not Mapped: The action specified (&2) is not mapped to the entity set in the service's metadata.

  Ensure that the OData service is activated. You can do this in the SAP Gateway Service Maintenance (transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE).

  Check Metadata:
  
  Use the OData service URL to access the metadata (e.g., http://<host>:<port>/sap/opu/odata/sap/<service_name>/$metadata) and verify that the entity set and action are correctly defined in the metadata.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
