You get the mentioned error.

Creation of complete BO (Registered product) with multiple nodes is not allowed in the console.

"Registered Product" OData service is based on multiple nodes. For creation "Customer" party is mandatory, which is present in a different node.

Since data in OData console is regarding only the Root, whenever you try to create the data, it results in an error.

You need to provide all mandatory information which might be present in a node different than Root, which is not possible through Odata Console.

In order to create/test Registered Product using OData, use Postman or any other REST based API testing software.

For sample payload for Postman refer the below:

{

"ID":"yyy",

"SerialID":"zzz",

 "ProductID":"abc",

 "Status":"4",

 "ReferenceDate":"20181023000000",

 "RegisteredProductPartyInformation":[

 {

 "PartyID":"xxx",

 "RoleCode":"60"

 }

 ],

"RegisteredProductDescription":[

{

"Description":"Reg prod TEST SAP",

"languageCode":"EN"

}

]

}

Where yyy, zzz, abc, xxx represents the ID, Serial ID, Product ID and Party ID respectively.
