  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBUIOD072 Association '&1' was created typically indicates that there is an issue related to the creation of an association in the SAP Gateway or OData service. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message that indicates that an association has been created, which may not be the expected behavior in certain contexts.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Model Configuration Issues: The association might have been created due to incorrect or incomplete configuration in the OData service model.
  Duplicate Associations: There may be an attempt to create an association that already exists, leading to this message being triggered.
  Metadata Issues: Problems with the metadata definition in the OData service can lead to unexpected behavior, including the creation of associations.
  Service Activation: The OData service might not be properly activated or might have inconsistencies in its definition.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Model Configuration: Review the OData service model configuration in the SAP Gateway Service Builder (transaction code SEGW). Ensure that all associations are defined correctly and that there are no duplicates.
  Review Metadata: Check the metadata of the OData service to ensure that it is correctly defined. You can do this by accessing the service's metadata URL (e.g., /sap/opu/odata/sap/<service_name>/$metadata).
  Rebuild the Service: If you suspect that the service definition is corrupted, you can try to regenerate the service. In the Service Builder, you can use the "Generate" option to regenerate the runtime artifacts.
  Check Activation Status: Ensure that the OData service is activated in the SAP Gateway. You can check this in transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE.
