  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_MED178 indicates that there is an issue with a currency code property in an OData service. Specifically, the error message states that the currency code property &1 (which would be replaced with the actual currency code) is not found in the specified entity type &2 (which would be replaced with the actual entity type name).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Currency Code: The currency code specified in the request does not exist in the defined entity type. This could happen if the currency code is misspelled or if it has not been defined in the metadata of the OData service.
  Incorrect Entity Type: The entity type specified may not have the currency code property defined, or it may not be the correct entity type for the operation being performed.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model or the OData service, the currency code property may have been removed or renamed.
  Service Metadata Issues: The OData service metadata might not be up to date, leading to discrepancies between the expected and actual properties.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Currency Code: Verify that the currency code being used in the request is correct and exists in the system. Ensure that it matches the expected format and spelling.
  Review Entity Type Definition: Check the definition of the entity type in the OData service to ensure that the currency code property is defined. You can do this by examining the service metadata (usually accessible via a URL like http://<service-url>/$metadata).
  Update OData Service: If the currency code property has been removed or renamed, update the OData service to reflect the current data model. This may involve modifying the service implementation or regenerating the service if it is based on a data model.
  Refresh Metadata: If there have been changes to the underlying data model, ensure that the OData service metadata is refreshed. This may involve reactivating the service or clearing any caches that might be holding outdated metadata.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider enabling debugging or logging for the OData service to capture more detailed information about the request and the processing of the currency code.
