This error indicates that there is a problem with how the entity set is trying to navigate to a related entity through a navigation property.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  Incorrect Navigation Property Definition: The navigation property may not be correctly defined in the entity model. This could be due to a mismatch in the entity types or incorrect cardinality settings.
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Associations: The associations between the entities may not be properly defined, leading to issues when trying to navigate from one entity to another.
  
  
  Data Model Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the underlying data model, such as missing foreign key relationships or incorrect data types.
  
  
  Service Metadata Issues: The OData service metadata might not be correctly generated or might be out of sync with the underlying data model.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the related entity, which can lead to navigation errors.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Navigation Property Definitions: Review the definitions of the navigation properties in your entity model. Ensure that they are correctly defined and that the associated entity types are correctly specified.
  
  
  Verify Associations: Check the associations between the entities in your data model. Ensure that they are correctly defined and that the cardinality (1:1, 1:n, n:m) is appropriate for your use case.
  
  
  Inspect the Data Model: Look for any inconsistencies in the underlying data model. Ensure that all foreign key relationships are correctly established and that the data types match.
  
  
  Regenerate Service Metadata: If you suspect that the service metadata is out of sync, regenerate the OData service metadata. This can often resolve issues related to navigation properties.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the related entities. You can check the authorization roles assigned to the user and make adjustments as needed.
