  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS156 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with Composite Data Sources (CDS) or when executing queries in the SAP BW Query Designer. This error indicates that there is an issue with a filter applied to a field in a query, specifically that the default value for the filter is invalid.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Invalid Default Value: The default value specified for the filter does not exist in the underlying data source or is not valid for the field.
  Data Type Mismatch: The default value may not match the expected data type of the field (e.g., trying to use a string where a number is expected).
  Field Configuration: The field may not be properly configured in the data model or may have been changed after the query was created.
  Missing Data: The data for the specified default value may not be present in the data source, leading to the error when the query is executed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Default Values:
  
  Go to the query definition in the Query Designer.
  Locate the filter for the field mentioned in the error message.
  Verify that the default value set for the filter is valid and exists in the data source.
  
  
  
  Validate Data Types:
  
  Ensure that the default value matches the data type of the field. For example, if the field is numeric, ensure that the default value is also numeric.
  
  
  
  Review Field Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the field in the data model. Ensure that it is correctly defined and that there have been no changes that could affect its validity.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Values:
  
  Temporarily change the default value to a known valid value and test the query to see if it executes without errors.
  
  
  
  Check Data Availability:
  
  Ensure that the data for the specified default value is available in the underlying data source. You can run a simple query or data preview to check this.
  
  
  
  Update Query:
  
  If the field or its values have changed, you may need to update the query to reflect these changes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
