  The SAP error message FDT_CP_MSG195 ("Top function has missing Reference table") typically occurs in the context of SAP's Flexible Data Import (FDI) or Flexible Data Transfer (FDT) framework. This error indicates that a top-level function in your data transfer or processing logic is missing a reference table that is required for its execution.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Reference Table: The top function in your data processing logic is expected to reference a specific table, but that table is either not defined or not accessible in the current context.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the data transfer process, such as incorrect mappings or missing definitions in the data model.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model (like adding or removing tables), the top function may not have been updated accordingly.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user executing the function may not have the necessary authorizations to access the reference table.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the top function to ensure that all required reference tables are correctly defined and accessible.
  Define Missing Tables: If the reference table is indeed missing, you will need to define it in the data model or configuration settings.
  Update Data Model: If there have been changes to the data model, ensure that the top function is updated to reflect these changes.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the reference table. If not, appropriate roles and permissions should be assigned.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the execution of the function and identify where the reference table is expected but not found.
