• The SAP error message /BOFU/FBI_DT_VIEW098 Use of Related View &1 leads to recursion typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Objects or SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with the data model or the way views are defined. This error indicates that there is a recursive relationship in the data model, which can lead to infinite loops when trying to access related views.
  
  Cause:
  
  Recursive Relationships: The error is primarily caused by a circular reference in the data model. This means that a view is trying to reference another view that, directly or indirectly, references the first view again.
  Incorrect View Definitions: If views are not defined properly, such as having incorrect joins or relationships, it can lead to recursion.
  Data Model Complexity: In complex data models with multiple views and relationships, it can be easy to inadvertently create recursive paths.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review View Definitions: Check the definitions of the views involved.
