• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS113 - Association &1 ignored: Field &2 is already the representative key ?

  The SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS113 indicates that there is an issue with the definition of an association in a Core Data Services (CDS) view. Specifically, the error message states that the association is being ignored because the field specified is already defined as the representative key for the association.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when you are trying to define an association in a CDS view, and the field you are using as the key for the association is already designated as the representative key for that association. In CDS views, each association can only have one representative key, and if you attempt to define another field as a representative key, the system will raise this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Review the Association Definition: Check the definition of the association in your CDS view. Ensure that you are not trying to set multiple fields as representative keys for the same association.
  
  
  Modify the Key Field: If you need to change the representative key, modify the association definition to use the correct field as the representative key. Make sure that only one field is designated as the representative key.
  
  
  Check for Duplicates: Ensure that there are no duplicate definitions or conflicting associations in your CDS view that might be causing this issue.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, activate the CDS view and test it to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) are a way to define semantic data models in SAP. They allow you to define views on database tables and provide a way to create complex queries in a more readable format.
  Associations in CDS: An association in a CDS view is a relationship between two entities. It allows you to navigate from one entity to another and is similar to a foreign key relationship in traditional database design.
  Representative Key: The representative key is the field that uniquely identifies the association. It is crucial for the correct functioning of the association and must be defined properly.
