• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_MED068 - Property '&1' of entity type '&2' does not have an EDM name ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_MED068 indicates that there is a problem with the Entity Data Model (EDM) in your OData service. Specifically, it states that a property of an entity type does not have an EDM name defined. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to expose a data model through an OData service and one of the properties is not properly configured.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors:
  
  Missing EDM Name: The property in question does not have an EDM name assigned to it. This can happen if the property is not correctly defined in the underlying data model.
  Incorrect Annotations: The annotations for the entity type or property may be missing or incorrectly configured.
  Model Generation Issues: If the OData service was generated from a data model, there may have been issues during the generation process that resulted in missing metadata.
  Changes in Data Model: If the underlying data model has been changed (e.g., properties added or removed) without updating the OData service, it can lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Data Model:
  
  Verify that the property in question is correctly defined in the underlying data model.
  Ensure that all properties have valid EDM names.
  
  
  
  Update Annotations:
  
  If you are using annotations, check that they are correctly defined for the entity type and its properties.
  Make sure that the annotations are consistent with the data model.
  
  
  
  Regenerate the OData Service:
  
  If the OData service was generated from a data model, consider regenerating it to ensure that all properties and their EDM names are correctly included.
  Use transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE to manage and activate your OData services.
  
  
  
  Check for Changes:
  
  If there have been recent changes to the data model, ensure that the OData service is updated accordingly.
  Review any transport requests that may have affected the data model or OData service.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, you may need to debug the OData service to identify where the property is being referenced without a proper EDM name.
  Use transaction SE80 or SE11 to analyze the data model and OData service definitions.
