  Inconsistent Model: The underlying data model may have inconsistencies, such as changes in the underlying tables or structures that are not reflected in the CDS view.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field References: Review the CDS view definition to identify where the field is being used. Remove or comment out any references to the field that is part of the association.
  Update Associations: If you are redefining an association, ensure that the field is not being used in the view. You may need to adjust the view to accommodate the new association definition.

  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependent objects (like other views or programs) that might be using the same field or association.
