• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_HRF213 - Association &1 differs from cds ?

  The SAP error message FDT_HRF213 typically indicates that there is a mismatch between the association defined in the Field Data Tool (FDT) and the corresponding association in the Core Data Services (CDS) view. This error often arises when there are discrepancies in the data model definitions, such as changes made to the CDS view that are not reflected in the FDT configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Associations: The association defined in the FDT does not match the association defined in the CDS view. This could be due to changes in the CDS view that have not been updated in the FDT.
  Changes in Data Model: If the underlying data model has been modified (e.g., fields added, removed, or renamed), it can lead to inconsistencies.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) without corresponding updates in the FDT, this error may occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Associations: Review the associations defined in both the FDT and the CDS view. Ensure that they match in terms of names, types, and cardinality.
  Update FDT Configuration: If there have been changes in the CDS view, update the FDT configuration to reflect these changes. This may involve re-defining the associations in the FDT.
  Re-activate CDS View: Sometimes, re-activating the CDS view can help resolve inconsistencies. This can be done in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or SE11 transaction.
  Transport Consistency: Ensure that all relevant changes have been transported correctly across systems. If necessary, re-transport the FDT configuration or the CDS view.
  Check for Notes or Patches: Look for any SAP Notes or patches that may address known issues related to this error message.
  
  Related Information:
  
  FDT Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation for the Field Data Tool to understand how associations are defined and managed.
  CDS View Documentation: Familiarize yourself with the Core Data Services documentation to understand how associations work within CDS views.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the FDT or CDS view to identify the exact point of failure.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FDT_HRF213 error and ensure that your FDT configuration is consistent with the underlying CDS view.
