• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS213 - Element &1 uses local name because of incomplete compounding ?

  The SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS213 indicates that there is an issue with the definition of a Core Data Services (CDS) view in ABAP. Specifically, the error message states that an element is using a local name due to incomplete compounding. This typically occurs when the CDS view is not able to resolve the full name of an element because the necessary associations or joins are not properly defined.
  Cause
  The primary causes of this error can include:
  
  Incomplete Associations: The CDS view may be trying to reference an element from a related entity, but the association to that entity is not fully defined or is missing.
  Incorrect Aliasing: If the element is aliased incorrectly or if there are naming conflicts, the CDS view may not be able to resolve the full name.
  Missing Annotations: Certain annotations that help in defining the relationships between entities may be missing or incorrectly specified.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been changes in the underlying data model (like changes in tables or fields), the CDS view may not reflect those changes correctly.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Associations: Review the associations defined in your CDS view. Ensure that all necessary associations to other entities are correctly defined and that they point to the right fields.
  
  
  Verify Element Names: Ensure that the element names used in the CDS view are correct and do not conflict with other elements. If you are using aliases, make sure they are defined properly.
  
  
  Review Annotations: Check for any missing or incorrect annotations that might be necessary for the proper functioning of the CDS view.
  
  
  Test the CDS View: After making changes, activate the CDS view and test it to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Check for Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the underlying data model, ensure that your CDS view is updated accordingly.
