• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK018 - VDM Core View &1 must have Annotation @EndUserText.label ?

  The SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK018 indicates that a Virtual Data Model (VDM) Core View is missing an annotation that is required for proper labeling. Specifically, the error states that the Core View must have the annotation @EndUserText.label. This annotation is essential for providing a user-friendly label for the view, which is important for usability in applications that consume this view.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a Core View in the VDM does not have the @EndUserText.label annotation defined. This annotation is used to provide a descriptive label for the view, which is displayed in user interfaces, such as Fiori apps or other SAP applications. Without this annotation, the system cannot display a meaningful name for the view, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to add the @EndUserText.label annotation to the Core View in question. Here’s how you can do that:
  
  
  Open the Core View Definition: Access the Core View definition in your development environment (e.g., SAP Business Application Studio or Eclipse with the ABAP Development Tools).
  
  
  Add the Annotation: Locate the section of the code where the Core View is defined. You need to add the annotation in the following format:
  @EndUserText.label: 'Your descriptive label here'
  For example:
  @EndUserText.label: 'Sales Order Details'
  define view Z_SalesOrder as select from sales_order
  {
      key sales_order_id,
      ...
  }
  
  
  Activate the Changes: After adding the annotation, save and activate the Core View.
  
  
  Test the Changes: Once activated, test the view in the relevant application to ensure that the error is resolved and that the label appears correctly.
