This can occur in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services when the metadata for the entity type is not correctly configured.

  Regenerate the Service: After making changes to the entity type or its base type, regenerate the service:
  
  In the Service Builder, right-click on the service and select "Generate Runtime Objects."
  Activate the service and test it again.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors in Model: Look for any other errors in the data model that might be causing this issue. Ensure that all entity types, associations, and navigation properties are correctly defined.
