• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CDS_UNIT_MESSAGE023 - Provide the base CDS entity name instead of extended CDS name for '&1' ?

  The SAP error message CDS_UNIT_MESSAGE023 indicates that there is an issue with the way a Core Data Services (CDS) view is being referenced in your ABAP code or in a related configuration. Specifically, the error suggests that you are using an extended CDS view name instead of the base CDS entity name.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to reference an extended CDS view (which is a view that is built on top of a base CDS view) in a context where only the base CDS view name is expected.
  The system is unable to resolve the extended view because it requires the base view for certain operations, such as data retrieval or annotations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Identify the Base CDS View: Determine the base CDS view that the extended view is built upon. You can usually find this information in the definition of the extended CDS view.
  Use the Base CDS View Name: Replace the reference to the extended CDS view with the base CDS view name in your code or configuration.
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that any other parts of your code or configuration that reference the extended view are also updated to use the base view.
  Re-activate the CDS Views: After making changes, re-activate both the base and extended CDS views to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  Related Information:
  
  CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) is a framework for defining semantically rich data models in SAP. CDS views can be either base views or extended views.
  Base vs. Extended Views: Base views are the foundational views that define the core data structure, while extended views build upon these base views by adding additional fields or logic.
  ABAP Development Tools: Use the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse or the SAP GUI to navigate and manage your CDS views effectively.
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for more details on CDS views, their structure, and best practices for usage.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your CDS views are referenced correctly in your application.
