The SAP error message
/IWFND/CM_IFL013
typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services. This error indicates that there is an issue with navigating from a source entity to a target entity in the context of a specific GSDO (Generic Service Data Object) type. Here’s a breakdown of the potential causes, solutions, and related information for this error:Causes:
- Incorrect Navigation Path: The navigation path defined in the OData service may not be correctly set up, leading to an inability to navigate from the source entity to the target entity.
- Missing Associations: There may be missing associations or relationships between the entities in the data model, which are required for navigation.
- Service Metadata Issues: The metadata of the OData service might not be correctly defined or might be out of sync with the underlying data model.
- Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the target entity.
- Data Model Changes: Changes in the underlying data model (like changes in the database tables or structures) that are not reflected in the OData service.
Solutions:
- Check Navigation Paths: Review the navigation paths defined in the OData service and ensure they are correctly configured. This can be done in the Service Builder (transaction code SEGW).
- Verify Associations: Ensure that all necessary associations between the entities are defined in the data model. You can check this in the Service Builder as well.
- Regenerate Service: If there have been changes to the data model, regenerate the OData service to ensure that the metadata is up to date. This can be done by right-clicking on the service in the Service Builder and selecting "Generate".
- Check Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access both the source and target entities. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by reviewing the user roles.
- Debugging: Use the SAP Gateway Client (transaction /IWFND/GW_CLIENT) to test the OData service and see if you can replicate the error. This can help in identifying the exact point of failure.
- Check Logs: Review the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
