  The SAP error message PP_ODATA_API_PLDORD015 indicates that there is an issue with the format of the ETag value being used in an OData API request. The ETag is a mechanism used for web cache validation and conditional requests, and it must adhere to a specific format.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the ETag value provided in the request does not conform to the expected format, which is yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss[.fffffff]Z|vii:nn. This format includes:
  
  A date and time in UTC (indicated by the 'Z' at the end).
  An optional fractional second component (up to 7 digits).
  An optional version identifier (vii) and a sequence number (nn).
  
  Common causes for this error include:
  
  Incorrectly formatted ETag value.
  Missing components in the ETag.
  Using a local time format instead of UTC.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, ensure that the ETag value you are sending in your OData API request is correctly formatted. Here are the steps to follow:
  
  
  Check the ETag Format: Ensure that the ETag follows the required format:
  
  Example of a valid ETag: 2023-10-01T12:30:45Z or 2023-10-01T12:30:45.1234567Z|1:00.
  
  
  
  Use UTC Time: Make sure that the date and time are in UTC. If you are generating the ETag programmatically, use a library or function that provides the current time in UTC.
  
  
  Include Optional Components: If your application logic requires versioning, ensure that you include the version identifier and sequence number in the ETag.
  
  
  Testing: After correcting the ETag format, test the API request again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  OData Protocol: Familiarize yourself with the OData protocol specifications, especially regarding ETags and how they are used for concurrency control.
