• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/SBOD306 - Facet values are invalid for Edm.Int type ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBOD306 Facet values are invalid for Edm.Int type typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway or OData services when there is an issue with the data types being used in the service definition or when the data being sent does not conform to the expected format.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The error indicates that the values being provided for a property defined as Edm.Int (which expects integer values) are not valid. This could happen if:
  
  Non-integer values (like strings or decimals) are being sent.
  The values are out of the acceptable range for integers.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Metadata: The OData service metadata might not be correctly defined, leading to mismatches between the expected data types and the actual data being processed.
  
  
  Client-Side Issues: If the client application is sending requests with incorrect data types or formats, this can trigger the error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Input Values: Ensure that the values being sent to the OData service for properties defined as Edm.Int are indeed integers. Validate the data before sending it.
  
  
  Review Service Metadata: Check the OData service metadata (usually accessible via the $metadata endpoint) to confirm that the data types are correctly defined. Ensure that the properties expected to be Edm.Int are correctly specified.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to the backend, you can debug the service to see what values are being processed and where the mismatch occurs.
  
  
  Client-Side Validation: Implement validation on the client side to ensure that only valid integer values are sent in requests.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your application to catch such errors and provide meaningful feedback to users.
  
  
  Related Information:
