• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS117 - Association &1 ignored: Field &2 is used as currency code ?

  The SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS117 indicates that there is an issue with the way a currency code is being handled in a Core Data Services (CDS) view or query. Specifically, the error message states that an association is being ignored because a field is being used as a currency code.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  A field that is expected to be a currency code is not defined correctly in the CDS view.
  The field is being used in an association, but it does not meet the requirements for currency fields in the context of the CDS view.
  The currency code field is not properly annotated or is being used in a way that conflicts with its intended use.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Field Definitions: Ensure that the field being used as a currency code is correctly defined in the CDS view. It should be of the appropriate data type (usually CURR or CURRENCY) and should have the correct annotations.
  
  
  Review Annotations: Make sure that the currency code field has the appropriate annotations. For example, you might need to use the @Currency annotation to specify that a field is a currency code.
  Example:
  @AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'Z_MY_CDS_VIEW'
  @AbapCatalog.compiler.compareFilter: true
  @AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #CHECK
  define view Z_MY_CDS_VIEW as select from my_table
  {
      key field1,
      field2,
      field3,
      @Currency: 'CURRENCY_FIELD'
      currency_field
  }
  
  
  Check Associations: If the field is part of an association, ensure that the association is correctly defined and that the currency field is not being used in a way that conflicts with its intended purpose.
  
  
  Test the CDS View: After making changes, activate the CDS view and test it to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct usage of currency fields in CDS views, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on defining currency fields and associations.
