  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_BEC000 Backend Operation Proxy (BOP) with ID '&1' does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services. This error indicates that the system is trying to access a Backend Operation Proxy (BOP) that has not been defined or does not exist in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Backend Operation Proxy: The specified Backend Operation Proxy (BOP) ID does not exist in the system. This could be due to a misconfiguration or an incomplete setup.
  Incorrect Service Registration: The OData service may not be properly registered or activated in the SAP Gateway.
  Transport Issues: If the BOP was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly or may not exist in the target system.
  Namespace Issues: The BOP ID may be in a different namespace or may have been deleted or renamed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOP Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE and check if the OData service is correctly registered and activated.
  Ensure that the Backend Operation Proxy (BOP) ID exists in the system.
  
  
  
  Create or Recreate BOP:

  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the BOP was supposed to be transported, check the transport requests to ensure that they were successfully imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Review Namespace:
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct namespace for the BOP. If the BOP was created in a different namespace, you may need to adjust your configuration or access the correct namespace.
