  Testing with Tools: Use tools like Postman or SAP Gateway Client to test your OData requests. This can help you identify if the issue is with the payload structure or the API itself.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your application to catch such errors and provide meaningful feedback to users.
