  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_COS152 Invalid filter value typically occurs in the context of OData services when a filter value provided in a query does not match the expected format or is not valid for the specified field. This error is often encountered when working with SAP Gateway and OData services.
  Causes:
  
  Invalid Data Type: The filter value provided does not match the expected data type of the field (e.g., providing a string where a number is expected).
  Incorrect Format: The filter value may not be in the correct format (e.g., date formats, GUIDs).
  Non-existent Values: The filter value refers to a value that does not exist in the database.
  Syntax Errors: There may be syntax errors in the OData query, such as incorrect use of operators or missing quotes.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Types: Ensure that the filter values you are using match the expected data types of the fields in the OData service.
  Validate Formats: Make sure that the filter values are in the correct format. For example, if filtering by date, ensure the date is in the correct format (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD).
  Verify Values: Check if the values you are filtering on actually exist in the database. You can do this by querying the database directly or using a different method to retrieve the data.
  Review OData Query Syntax: Double-check the syntax of your OData query. Ensure that you are using the correct operators and that all necessary quotes are included.
  Test with Known Values: Try using known valid filter values to see if the error persists. This can help isolate whether the issue is with specific values or the query itself.
  Check for Case Sensitivity: If applicable, ensure that the case of the filter values matches the case of the values stored in the database.
