• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/SBOD423 - Edm. type of Property Path and Referenced Property Path must be same ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBOD423 indicates that there is a mismatch between the EDM (Entity Data Model) type of a property path and the referenced property path in your OData service. This typically occurs when you are trying to access a property in an OData service that has a different data type than what is expected.
  Cause:
  
  
  Mismatched Data Types: The most common cause of this error is that the property you are trying to access has a different EDM type than the one defined in the OData model. For example, if you are trying to access a property that is defined as an integer in the model, but you are trying to access it as a string, this error will occur.
  
  
  Incorrect Navigation Properties: If you are using navigation properties and the types of the source and target properties do not match, this error can also be triggered.
  
  
  Model Definition Issues: There may be issues in the way the OData model is defined, such as incorrect annotations or missing definitions.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check EDM Types: Review the EDM types of the properties involved in the error. Ensure that the types match between the property path and the referenced property path.
  
  
  Update OData Model: If there are discrepancies in the model, update the OData model to ensure that the property types are correctly defined. This may involve modifying the metadata or the service implementation.
  
  
  Review Navigation Properties: If you are using navigation properties, ensure that the types of the source and target properties are compatible.
  
  
  Test with Different Queries: Sometimes, the error may be specific to certain queries. Test with different queries to isolate the issue.
  
  
  Check for Annotations: Ensure that any annotations related to the properties are correctly defined and do not conflict with the expected types.
  
  
  Regenerate the Service: If you have made changes to the underlying data model, you may need to regenerate the OData service to reflect those changes.
