  Data Model Issues: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the data model, such as missing fields or incorrect data types.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the metadata.

  Check Metadata Definition:
  
  Ensure that the OData service is correctly defined in the ABAP Dictionary. Check for any missing or incorrectly defined entities, properties, or associations.
