  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4_MED272 indicates that there is an issue with the OData service configuration in the SAP Gateway. Specifically, it suggests that the service you are trying to access is not included in the parent service. This can occur in scenarios where you have a service that is supposed to inherit or reference another service, but the configuration is not set up correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Service Not Registered: The child service (the one you are trying to access) is not properly registered under the parent service.
  Incorrect Service Binding: The child service may not be bound to the parent service correctly in the SAP Gateway.
  Version Mismatch: There may be a version mismatch between the parent and child services.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the service.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Service Registration:
