  Rebuild Indexes: If the data model is correct, try rebuilding the indexes for the ESH. This can help refresh the metadata and resolve any inconsistencies.
  Validate Calculated Attributes: Go through the calculated attributes defined in the ESH configuration and validate their definitions. Ensure that all referenced attributes and relations are valid.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as there may be bug fixes related to this issue in newer versions.
