• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/SBDSP_UI032 - Only table or structure header can be unset as range ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBDSP_UI032: Only table or structure header can be unset as range typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway or OData services when there is an issue with the way data is being handled in a query or when setting up a range for a selection.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when:
  
  Incorrect Data Structure: The system is trying to unset a range for a field that is not a header field of a table or structure. In OData services, only certain fields can be treated as range fields.
  Improper Query Formation: The query being sent to the OData service may be incorrectly formed, leading to the system attempting to unset a range on a non-header field.
  Model Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the way the OData model is defined, particularly if the entity types and their properties are not correctly set up.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the OData Service:
  
  Review the OData service definition and ensure that the entity types and properties are correctly defined.
  Make sure that the fields you are trying to unset as ranges are indeed header fields.
  
  
  
  Review the Query:
  
  If you are constructing a query manually, double-check the syntax and ensure that you are not trying to unset a range on a non-header field.
  Use tools like SAP Gateway Client (transaction /IWFND/GW_CLIENT) to test your OData service and see if the error can be reproduced with specific queries.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If you have access to the backend, you can debug the OData service implementation to see where the error is being triggered.
  Look for any custom logic that might be manipulating the ranges incorrectly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
