This error typically arises when you are trying to create or modify a view that has related views, and the output structure does not align with the expected UI structure.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatched Structures: The output structure defined in the data view does not match the structure expected by the UI. This can happen if the fields in the output structure are not aligned with the fields in the UI or if there are additional fields in the output structure that are not present in the UI.

  Solution:

  Update UI Configuration: If the UI structure has changed, you may need to update the UI configuration to reflect the changes in the data view or vice versa.
  Recreate Views: In some cases, it may be necessary to recreate the views to ensure that they are properly aligned. This can help eliminate any hidden inconsistencies.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or community forums for specific guidelines on structuring views and UI components, as there may be best practices or known issues related to your version of SAP.
