  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBUIOD111 Vocabulary version must not be initial typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services. This error indicates that a required parameter, specifically the "Vocabulary version," is not being provided or is set to an initial (empty) value when it is expected to have a valid value.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The vocabulary version is not configured in the OData service or the corresponding UI5 application.

  Check Metadata:
  
  Use the OData service URL to access the metadata and verify that the vocabulary version is included and correctly defined.
  You can access the metadata by appending $metadata to the OData service URL.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
