• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_MED176 - Unit conv. class not allowed on property '&1': Currency property '&2' set ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_MED176 typically occurs in the context of OData services when there is an issue with the handling of currency properties in your data model. This error indicates that a unit conversion class is not allowed for a specific property that is defined as a currency type.
  Cause:
  
  Currency Property Definition: The property in question is defined as a currency type in the OData service, but the system is trying to apply a unit conversion class to it, which is not permitted for currency properties.
  Model Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the OData model where a currency property is incorrectly set up to use a unit conversion class.
  Incompatible Data Types: The data type of the property may not be compatible with the expected currency type, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Property Definition: Review the definition of the property in your OData service. Ensure that it is correctly defined as a currency type and that no unit conversion class is being applied to it.
  Remove Unit Conversion Class: If a unit conversion class is assigned to the currency property, remove it. Currency properties should not have unit conversion classes associated with them.
  Adjust Data Model: If necessary, adjust the data model to ensure that currency properties are correctly defined without any conflicting settings.
  Regenerate OData Service: After making changes to the property definitions, regenerate the OData service to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the Service: After making the necessary adjustments, test the OData service to confirm that the error no longer occurs.
