  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_GWS015 indicates that a deep insert operation is being attempted for an entity that is not supported for deep inserts in the context of the OData service. Specifically, this error typically arises when trying to perform a deep insert operation on entities that are not configured to support it, such as when trying to insert a sales order along with its line items.
  Cause:
  
  Entity Configuration: The OData service may not be configured to allow deep inserts for the specific entity you are trying to work with. In this case, the service is likely set up to only support deep inserts for Sales Orders and their associated Line Items.
  Service Implementation: The underlying implementation of the OData service may not handle deep inserts for the entities you are trying to insert.
  Data Model Restrictions: The data model may impose restrictions on which entities can be inserted together in a single request.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check OData Service Configuration: Review the OData service configuration to ensure that it supports deep inserts for the entities you are trying to work with. You may need to modify the service definition to allow deep inserts for the required entities.
  Separate Requests: If deep insert is not supported for the entities you are working with, consider breaking the operation into separate requests. First, create the parent entity (e.g., Sales Order) and then create the child entities (e.g., Line Items) in subsequent requests.
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation for the specific OData service you are using to understand its capabilities and limitations regarding deep inserts.
  Debugging: If you have access to the backend, you can debug the OData service to see how it processes the incoming requests and identify where the failure occurs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  OData Protocol: Understanding the OData protocol and how it handles deep inserts can provide insights into why certain operations are restricted.
  SAP Gateway: Familiarize yourself with SAP Gateway and how it manages OData services, including the configuration of entity sets and their relationships.
