This error indicates that a required property, specifically the Goods Movement Code, is missing from the request payload when trying to perform a goods movement operation.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of the GoodsMovementCode property in the OData request. The Goods Movement Code is essential for identifying the type of goods movement being processed (e.g., goods receipt, goods issue, transfer posting, etc.).

  {
      "GoodsMovementCode": "101",  // Example code for goods receipt
      "OtherRequiredProperty": "value"
  }
  
  
  Validate the Goods Movement Code: Make sure that the Goods Movement Code you are using is valid and exists in the system. You can check this in the SAP GUI or through relevant transaction codes (e.g., MIGO).
  
  
  Test the Request: After making the necessary changes, test the OData request again to see if the error persists.
