  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBDSP_DM057 &1 is not an elementary search help and thus not supported typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway or OData services when there is an attempt to use a search help that is not defined as an elementary search help. This can happen when you are trying to use a search help in a way that is not compatible with the expected structure of the OData service.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Elementary Search Help: The search help you are trying to use is not defined as an elementary search help. In SAP, elementary search helps are those that return a single value or a simple list of values, while collective search helps may involve more complex logic or multiple tables.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the OData service or the way the search help is integrated into the service.
  Data Model Issues: The data model being used may not support the search help as expected, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Search Help Definition: Verify that the search help you are trying to use is defined as an elementary search help. You can do this by checking the transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) and looking for the search help in question.
  Use Elementary Search Helps: If the search help is not elementary, consider using a different search help that is elementary or redesigning the search help to meet the requirements.
  Adjust OData Service: If you are developing or configuring an OData service, ensure that the search help is correctly integrated. You may need to adjust the service definition or the way the search help is called.
  Debugging: Use transaction SE80 or SE37 to debug the OData service and see how the search help is being called. This can provide insights into what might be going wrong.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or community forums for any specific notes or updates related to the error message and the search help in question.
