  • What causes this issue?

    In the view, not all of the mandatory fields were included as key
    fields. The key of the view therefore is not unique.

    System Response

    All the fields are regarded as key fields in order to guarantee that
    the key lengths are unique.

    How to fix this error?

    For views with a large number of fields, this could have a negative
    effect on the performance for the language construction described
    below. In this case, all the mandatory key fields should be included in
    the view.
    &HINTS&
    The key information is relevant for the ABAP/4 language constructs
    SELECT SINGLE, SELECT ... ORDER BY PRIMARY KEY and SELECT ... FOR ALL
    ENTRIES.
    In these cases, SELECT SINGLE is handled like a simple SELECT ...
    ENDSELECT, where the first (random) record found is returned.
    ORDER BY PRIMARY KEY and (indirect) SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES sort
    according to all fields in these cases.
