• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS114 - Association &1 ignored: Field &2 already has special semantics ?

  The SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS114 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 a field already has "special semantics." This typically occurs when there is a conflict in the semantics of the fields being used in the CDS view.
  Cause
  The error is usually caused by one of the following scenarios:
  
  Duplicate Semantics: The field that is being referenced in the association already has a defined semantic meaning (e.g., it is already defined as a key field or has a specific aggregation function).
  Incompatible Field Types: The field types of the association and the target field may not be compatible, leading to a conflict in how the data is interpreted.
  Incorrect Association Definition: The association may not be defined correctly, leading to ambiguity in how the fields are related.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the CDS View Definition: Check the definition of the CDS view where the error occurs. Look for the association that is causing the issue and examine the fields involved.
  
  
  Check Field Semantics: Ensure that the fields being used in the association do not have conflicting semantics. If a field is already defined with special semantics, consider whether it is necessary to use it in the association.
  
  
  Modify the Association: If the association is not necessary or can be redefined, consider modifying it. You may need to change the way the association is defined or remove it altogether if it is causing conflicts.
  
  
  Use Aliases: If you need to use the same field in multiple contexts, consider using aliases to differentiate between the usages.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for Core Data Services to understand the specific requirements and limitations regarding associations and field semantics.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making changes, activate the CDS view and test it to ensure that the error is resolved.
