This error is related to the SAP Gateway framework, which is used to expose SAP data and business logic as OData services.
  Cause:

  Service Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the OData service itself, such as incorrect settings in the service definition or the service implementation.
  
  
  Request Format: The request being sent to the OData service may not be properly formatted, leading to the service not recognizing the execution mode.

  Check Authorizations: Verify that the user making the request has the necessary authorizations to perform the update operation. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using transaction codes like /IWFND/ERROR_LOG to check for additional error logs or debugging the OData service to identify the root cause of the issue.
