  The SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK371, which states "Association target &1 does not exist," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Core Data Services (CDS) or when dealing with associations in data models. This error indicates that there is a reference to an association target (usually a table or view) that cannot be found in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Target Object: The target object (table, view, or entity) that the association is trying to reference does not exist in the database.
  Incorrect Naming: There may be a typo or incorrect naming in the association definition.
  Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, or the target object may not have been included in the transport.
  Activation Issues: The target object may not be activated or may be in an inconsistent state.
  Namespace Issues: The target object may exist in a different namespace that is not accessible from the current context.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify that the target object (table, view, or entity) actually exists in the database. You can do this by checking in the Data Dictionary (SE11) or using transaction codes like SE80.
  Correct Naming: Ensure that the name used in the association is correct and matches the actual name of the target object.
  Transport Check: If the object was transported, check the transport logs to ensure that the target object was included and successfully imported into the system.
  Activation: If the target object exists but is not activated, activate it using transaction SE11 or SE80.
  Namespace Verification: Ensure that the target object is in the correct namespace and that you have the necessary authorizations to access it.
  Rebuild Associations: If the issue persists, consider rebuilding the associations in the CDS view or data model to ensure they are correctly defined.
