• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRTS_CDS148 - Annotations of &1 use hierarchies, but &1 does not have any ?

  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS148 indicates that there is an issue with the use of hierarchies in a Core Data Services (CDS) view or query. Specifically, the error states that annotations of a certain object (denoted as &1) are attempting to use hierarchies, but the object itself does not have any hierarchies defined.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Hierarchies: The CDS view or query is expected to have hierarchies defined, but they are either not defined or not properly linked to the data model.
  Incorrect Annotations: The annotations in the CDS view may reference hierarchies that do not exist or are not applicable to the data being queried.
  Data Model Issues: There may be issues in the underlying data model that prevent hierarchies from being recognized or utilized.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Hierarchy Definitions: Ensure that the hierarchies are correctly defined in the data model. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant InfoObject or data source in the SAP BW/4HANA system.
  Verifying that the hierarchy is created and active.
  
  
  
  Review Annotations: Examine the annotations in the CDS view or query. Make sure that they correctly reference the hierarchies that are defined. If the annotations are incorrect, you may need to modify them to align with the existing hierarchies.
  
  
  Update the CDS View: If the hierarchies are missing, you may need to update the CDS view to include the necessary hierarchy definitions. This can involve:
  
  Adding the appropriate hierarchy annotations.
  Ensuring that the data source used in the CDS view supports hierarchies.
  
  
  
  Test the Query: After making the necessary changes, test the query again to see if the error persists. If it does, further investigation into the data model and hierarchy definitions may be required.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or community forums for additional guidance on working with hierarchies in CDS views, as there may be specific considerations or best practices to follow.
