• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FNDEI_VIEW_PROV299 - &1 has invalid underlying objects (e.g. makes use of table functions). ?

  The SAP error message FNDEI_VIEW_PROV299 indicates that there is an issue with a view or a table function in the SAP system. Specifically, the error message states that the view or object has invalid underlying objects, which may include the use of table functions that are not properly defined or are incompatible with the view.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Underlying Objects: The view may reference underlying objects (like tables or other views) that are either not available, have been deleted, or have been modified in a way that makes them incompatible.
  Table Functions: If the view is using table functions, there may be issues with the function itself, such as it being incorrectly defined, having missing parameters, or returning an unexpected structure.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the underlying objects.
  Transport Issues: If the view or its underlying objects were transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies or missing dependencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Underlying Objects: Verify that all underlying objects referenced by the view are valid and exist in the system. This includes checking for any deleted or modified tables or views.
  Review Table Functions: If the view uses table functions, ensure that these functions are correctly defined and return the expected structure. You may need to check the function's parameters and return types.
  Recreate the View: If the view is corrupted or has invalid references, consider recreating it. This can sometimes resolve issues related to invalid objects.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the underlying objects. This can be done by checking the roles and permissions assigned to the user.
  Transport Consistency: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors and ensure that all dependencies were transported correctly.
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP development environment, you can debug the view or the table function to identify the exact point of failure.
