• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACM_SYNTAX090 - CDS element cannot be matched with a PFCG_MAPPING ?

  The SAP error message ACM_SYNTAX090 indicates that there is a mismatch between a Core Data Services (CDS) element and a PFCG mapping. This typically occurs in the context of authorization management, where the system is unable to find a corresponding mapping for a CDS view element in the Profile Generator (PFCG).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Mapping: The CDS element you are trying to use does not have a corresponding entry in the PFCG mapping table.
  Incorrect Configuration: The CDS view may not be properly configured to be used with the authorization objects defined in PFCG.
  Changes in CDS Views: If the CDS view has been modified (e.g., fields added or removed), the existing mappings may no longer be valid.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view was transported from one system to another, the mappings may not have been transported correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check PFCG Mappings: Go to transaction PFCG and check the authorization object mappings for the role in question. Ensure that all necessary mappings for the CDS elements are present.
  Update Mappings: If mappings are missing, you may need to create or update them to ensure that they correspond to the CDS elements.
  Recheck CDS View: Review the CDS view definition to ensure that it is correctly defined and that all fields are properly mapped to the relevant authorization objects.
  Regenerate Authorizations: After making changes, regenerate the authorizations in PFCG to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, verify that all necessary objects were included in the transport request and that they were imported correctly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) is a framework for defining and consuming semantically rich data models in SAP. Understanding how CDS views work and how they relate to authorizations is crucial.
  PFCG: The Profile Generator (PFCG) is used to create and manage roles and authorizations in SAP. Familiarity with PFCG is essential for resolving authorization-related issues.
  Authorization Objects: These are used to control access to various functionalities in SAP. Each CDS view may require specific authorization objects to be defined in PFCG.
  
  Additional Steps:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the authorization check to identify where the mismatch is occurring.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to CDS and PFCG for best practices and troubleshooting tips.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ACM_SYNTAX090 error and ensure that your CDS elements are correctly mapped in PFCG.
