  Cause:
  
  Invalid Parameter: The request may contain a segment parameter that is not defined in the OData service's metadata.
  Typographical Error: There might be a typo in the parameter name in the request URL.
  Service Definition Changes: If the OData service was recently modified (e.g., new parameters added or existing ones removed), the client may still be using an outdated request format.
