• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/SBOD255 - The EDM type '&1' contains date und time. ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/SBOD255 indicates that there is an issue with the EDM (Entity Data Model) type in your OData service. Specifically, the error message states that the EDM type contains both date and time, which is not allowed in certain contexts or configurations.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  An EDM type is defined to include both date and time components, but the system or the specific context in which it is being used does not support this combination.
  There may be a mismatch between the data types defined in the OData service and the underlying data model in the database or the application logic.
  The OData service is trying to process a date-time value in a way that is incompatible with the expected format or type.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check EDM Type Definition:
  
  Review the definition of the EDM type in your OData service. Ensure that the type is correctly defined and that it matches the expected format for date and time.
  If the type is defined as DateTime, consider changing it to Date or Time if you do not need both components.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Model:
  
  If you are using a database or backend system, check the data model to ensure that the fields are defined correctly. If a field is supposed to store only a date, ensure it is not defined as a date-time type.
  
  
  
  Modify OData Service:
  
  If you have control over the OData service implementation, modify the service to handle date and time values appropriately. This may involve changing the way data is serialized or deserialized.
  
  
  
  Check Service Metadata:
  
  Review the service metadata (usually accessible via the $metadata endpoint) to ensure that the types are correctly defined and that there are no discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the OData service to ensure that the error is resolved and that the data is being processed correctly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for OData services and EDM types for more detailed information on how to define and use these types correctly.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if others have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  Debugging Tools: Use debugging tools available in SAP (like transaction codes SE80, SE11, or SE37) to analyze the service and data model.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
