How To Fix MC755 - Joins must be defined with foreign key

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message number: 755

• Message text: Joins must be defined with foreign key

What causes this issue?

Join conditions were freely defined for a view. The current view type,
however, only permits joins which were defined with foreign key.
Tables containing no join conditions are also not allowed.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Normally the ABAP/4 Dictionary only permits the entry of freely defined
join conditions for database views. The current situation occurred due
to the change in the view type.
Choose the base tables with a foreign key relationship for all views
except for database views. The foreign key relationship is then used as
the join definition.
&NOTE&
The information that the join might have been derived from a
foreign key is not stored for database views. In this case you should
remove all the tables except for one. Use the 'Relationships' function
to include the tables after successfully converting the view type.
