1. You are using below query to perform the upsert with post operation in postman.

Query:-

https://apisalesdemo4.successfactors.com/odata/v2/cust_FinanceDepartment?$format=JSON&$expand=cust_costcenter

Payload:-

{
    "externalCode": "0030",
                "effectiveStartDate": "/Date(1495746637000)/",
                "externalName_defaultValue": "0030",
                "mdfSystemStatus": "A",
                
                "cust_costcenter": {

                            "externalCode": "24001-500",
                            "startDate": "/Date(-2208988800000)/",
                            "status": "A",
                            
         

                            "externalCode": "36152-100",
                            "startDate": "/Date(-2208988800000)/",
                            "status": "A",
                            
                }
                
                
}

2. Getting error response

{
    "error": {
        "code": "COE_GENERAL_BAD_REQUEST",
        "message": {
            "lang": "en-US",
            "value": "Save batch with same externalCode failed! Same records exist in Batch!"
        }
    }
}

This is expected behavior as both records are considered as same, there are two problems with above query

1. In the query upsert operation is not in use.

2. All the child or associate field are added in one expand entity. It should be added with metadata.

To resolve the issue, use the payload showing the resolution.

Query:https://apisalesdemo4.successfactors.com/odata/v2/upsert

Payload:-

{
    "__metadata": {
"uri": "cust_FinanceDepartment"
},
    "externalCode": "0030",
                "effectiveStartDate": "/Date(1495746637000)/",
                "externalName_defaultValue": "0030",
                "mdfSystemStatus": "A",
                
                "cust_costcenter":[
                    {
                        
                            "__metadata": {
