• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/SBOD117 - Properties of complex type '&1' must not define add. ABAP type mappings ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBOD117 indicates that there is an issue with the definition of a complex type in your OData service. Specifically, the error states that properties of the complex type must not define ABAP type mappings when they are defined as "add" (i.e., they are intended to be added to the OData service).
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You have defined a complex type in your OData service that includes properties with ABAP type mappings.
  The properties are not allowed to have ABAP type mappings when they are part of a complex type that is being added to the OData service.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Complex Type Definition:
  
  Go to the definition of the complex type in your OData service.
  Review the properties defined within the complex type.
  
  
  
  Remove ABAP Type Mappings:
  
  If any properties of the complex type have ABAP type mappings defined, you need to remove them.
  Ensure that the properties are defined using the appropriate data types without any explicit ABAP type mappings.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the OData Service:
  
  After making the necessary changes, regenerate the OData service to ensure that the changes take effect.
  You can do this by using transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE to maintain and activate your OData service.
  
  
  
  Test the OData Service:
  
  Once the service is regenerated, test it to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the service behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  OData Services: OData (Open Data Protocol) is a standard protocol for building and consuming RESTful APIs. In SAP, OData services are often used to expose data from SAP systems to external applications.
  Complex Types: In OData, complex types are used to define structured data types that can contain multiple properties. They are similar to structures in ABAP.
  ABAP Type Mappings: ABAP type mappings are used to map ABAP data types to OData types. However, when defining complex types, you should avoid using these mappings directly on the properties.
  
  If you continue to face issues after following these steps, consider checking the SAP community forums or consulting SAP documentation for further guidance.
