• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FNDEI_VIEW_PROV213 - CDS View &1 has changed. ?

  The SAP error message FNDEI_VIEW_PROV213 indicates that a Core Data Services (CDS) view has changed, which can lead to issues when the system is trying to access or utilize that view. This error typically arises in scenarios where the underlying data model has been modified, such as changes to the fields, structure, or relationships within the CDS view.
  Cause:
  
  Changes in the CDS View: The most common cause is that the CDS view has been altered (e.g., fields added, removed, or modified) after it was initially activated or used in a report or application.
  Inconsistent Data Model: If the CDS view is being referenced in other objects (like OData services, reports, or other CDS views), and those references are not updated to reflect the changes, it can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the dependent objects were not properly adjusted, this error may occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Re-activate the CDS View: Go to the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the relevant transaction (like SE11 or SE80) and re-activate the CDS view. This can help refresh the metadata and resolve inconsistencies.
  Check Dependencies: Review any dependent objects (like OData services, reports, or other CDS views) that rely on the changed CDS view. Ensure they are updated to reflect the new structure.
  Clear Cache: Sometimes, clearing the cache can help resolve issues related to outdated metadata. You can do this using transaction code /IWFND/CACHE for OData services or /IWBEP/CACHE for CDS views.
  Check for Transport Issues: If the changes were transported, ensure that all dependent objects were also transported correctly. You may need to re-transport or adjust the objects accordingly.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the application or report that is generating the error to identify the exact point of failure.
