• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PP_KAB_ODATA_API001 - Only positive numbers are allowed for property &1 ?

  The SAP error message PP_KAB_ODATA_API001 indicates that a negative number or zero was provided for a property that only accepts positive numbers. This error typically occurs in the context of OData services, particularly when dealing with production planning (PP) or related modules in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when an API call is made to an OData service, and one of the properties (indicated by &1 in the error message) is expected to have a positive numeric value, but the value provided is either zero or negative. This could happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Input Data: The data being sent to the OData service may have been incorrectly formatted or calculated, leading to invalid values.
  User Input Error: Users may have entered negative values or zero in a user interface that interacts with the OData service.
  Data Mapping Issues: If data is being transformed or mapped from one format to another, there may be issues in the mapping logic that result in invalid values.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Input Values: Review the values being sent to the OData service. Ensure that all properties that require positive numbers are indeed receiving valid positive values.
  
  
  Validation Logic: Implement validation logic in the application or interface that collects user input to prevent negative or zero values from being submitted.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to the backend or the OData service implementation, you can debug the service to see what values are being processed and where the error is occurring.
  
  
  Error Handling: Enhance error handling in your application to catch such errors and provide meaningful feedback to users, guiding them to correct their input.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific OData service you are using to understand the expected input formats and constraints for each property.
