  Causes:
  
  Missing or Inconsistent CDS View: The CDS view that is being referenced may not exist, or there may be inconsistencies in its definition.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view was recently transported from another system, there may be issues with the transport that need to be resolved.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the CDS view or the underlying data.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the underlying data model or database tables that the CDS view relies on can lead to this error.
  Caching Issues: Sometimes, caching issues can prevent the system from reading the latest version of the CDS view.

  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the CDS view and the underlying data.
  Clear Cache: Clear the cache for the CDS views. You can do this using transaction SLG1 to check for logs and SICF to manage the cache.
  Check Transport Logs: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate what went wrong.
  Review Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model, ensure that the CDS view is updated accordingly.
