• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4S_RUN007 - Expand/Select not supported for functions ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_V4S_RUN007 typically occurs in the context of OData services when trying to perform an operation that is not supported by the underlying function or service. This error message indicates that the "Expand" or "Select" operations are not supported for the specific function you are trying to call.
  Cause:
  
  Unsupported Operations: The OData service you are trying to access does not support the $expand or $select query options for the specific entity or function you are invoking.
  Function Import: If you are calling a function import (a custom function in an OData service), it may not be designed to handle these operations.
  Service Definition: The service definition may not have been configured to allow for these operations on the specified entity or function.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Service Metadata: Review the OData service metadata (usually accessible via the $metadata endpoint) to see if the function or entity supports $expand or $select. If it does not, you will need to adjust your query accordingly.
  Modify the Function: If you have control over the OData service, consider modifying the function to support these operations if they are necessary for your use case.
  Use Direct Queries: If the function does not support $expand or $select, you may need to call the function without these options and handle the data processing on the client side.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific OData service you are using to understand its capabilities and limitations regarding query options.
  
  Related Information:
  
  OData Protocol: Understanding the OData protocol and how it handles query options can help in troubleshooting similar issues.
  SAP Gateway: If you are using SAP Gateway, familiarize yourself with how it exposes OData services and the limitations of function imports.
