The error message states that a key property type is not set for a specified key property on a given entity type. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause
  
  Missing Key Property Type: The key property defined in the entity type does not have an associated data type. This can happen if the metadata for the OData service is not correctly defined.
  Incorrect Entity Type Definition: The entity type may not be properly defined in the Data Model, leading to inconsistencies in how the key properties are recognized.
  Model Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the OData model, such as missing annotations or incorrect mappings.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Entity Type Definition:
  
  Go to the Data Model in the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW).
  Verify that the entity type in question has all key properties defined correctly, including their data types.
  
  
  
  Define Key Property Types:
  
  Ensure that each key property has a defined type. You can do this by editing the entity type and checking the properties section.
  If a key property is missing a type, add the appropriate data type (e.g., String, Integer, etc.).
  
  
  
  Regenerate the OData Service:
  
  After making changes to the entity type, regenerate the OData service to ensure that the changes are reflected in the service metadata.
  You can do this by right-clicking on the service in the Service Builder and selecting "Generate".
  
  
  
  Check Annotations:
  
  Ensure that any necessary annotations are present in the model. Annotations can provide additional metadata that may be required for the service to function correctly.
  
  
  
  Test the Service:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the OData service using the SAP Gateway Client (transaction code /IWFND/GW_CLIENT) to ensure that the error is resolved.
