  Update the Projection View: If the base entity has changed, you may need to update the projection view to reflect the correct base entity. This may involve modifying the view definition in the ABAP CDS or the relevant configuration settings.
  Review Associations: Ensure that all associations and relationships in the projection view are correctly defined and that they point to the right entities.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific version you are using to understand the expected structure and requirements for the transactional projection view.
