  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBDM061 indicates that a technical name (likely a field or entity) is required but is currently not provided (i.e., it is "initial"). This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway or OData services when defining or configuring data models.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Technical Name: The error suggests that a required technical name for an entity or field is not specified. This could happen during the creation or modification of an OData service or data model.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the data model or service definition where certain fields or entities are expected to have a technical name but do not.
  Data Model Definition: If you are working with a data model, it is possible that the technical name for a specific entity or property has not been defined.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Model Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SEGW for Service Builder).
  Open the data model where the error is occurring.
  Ensure that all entities and properties have valid technical names defined.
  
  
  
  Define Technical Names:

  You can do this in the Service Builder by selecting the service and choosing the "Regenerate" option.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
