  The SAP error message PLMI_ODATA_SPC003 typically indicates that a default authorization group has not been set for the OData service you are trying to use. This error is often encountered when working with SAP Gateway and OData services, particularly in the context of service registration or activation.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system requires a default authorization group to be specified for the OData service, and it has not been configured.
