/IWBEP/SBOD260 - Details

• The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBOD260 indicates that there is an issue with the size of the EDM (Entity Data Model) type when dealing with unsigned ABAP values. This typically occurs in the context of OData services where the data types defined in the ABAP backend do not match the expected sizes in the OData service.
  
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by a mismatch between the data types defined in the ABAP system and the corresponding EDM types in the OData service. Specifically, it occurs when an unsigned ABAP data type (like UINT8, UINT16, UINT32, or UINT64) is mapped to an EDM type that cannot accommodate the range of values that the unsigned ABAP type can hold.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Type Mappings:
  
  Review the data types used in your ABAP code and ensure that they are correctly mapped to the appropriate EDM types in the OData
