• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/SBOD050 - Entity type name '&1' is reserved ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBOD050 Entity type name '&1' is reserved typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services. This error indicates that the entity type name you are trying to use is reserved by the system and cannot be used for your custom implementation.
  Cause:
  
  Reserved Names: The entity type name you are trying to define is already reserved by the SAP system for standard or internal use. This can happen if you are trying to create an entity type that has the same name as a standard entity type provided by SAP.
  Naming Conflicts: There may be a naming conflict with existing entity types in the OData service or other components of the SAP system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use a Different Name: The simplest solution is to choose a different name for your entity type that does not conflict with reserved names. Ensure that the new name is unique and follows the naming conventions.
  Check Existing Entity Types: Review the existing entity types in your OData service or the relevant SAP standard services to ensure that the name you want to use is not already taken.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or the OData service metadata to identify reserved names and ensure compliance with naming conventions.
  Debugging: If you are unsure about the reserved names, you can debug the OData service or check the service definition in the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW) to see the list of existing entity types.
  
  Related Information:
