  The SAP error message DDLS394, which states "The basis view of the extend & does not exist," typically occurs when there is an issue with the database view or the underlying data model in the SAP system. This error is often encountered during operations related to data dictionary objects, such as when trying to extend a table or view that does not have a corresponding basis view defined.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Basis View: The primary cause of this error is that the basis view for the specified object does not exist in the data dictionary. This can happen if the view was deleted or not created properly.
  Inconsistent Data Dictionary: If there have been changes to the data model (like renaming or deleting tables/views) without proper adjustments in the data dictionary, it can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another and the transport did not include all necessary components, it may lead to missing views.

  Check for Existence of Basis View: Verify if the basis view exists in the data dictionary. You can do this by using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) and checking the relevant view or table.

  Transport Requests: If the issue is related to transport, ensure that all necessary objects are included in the transport request and re-import it if needed.
