• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRTS_CDS212 - Value help for parameter &1: localElement or localParameter required ?

  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS212 indicates that there is an issue with the value help for a parameter in a CDS (Core Data Services) view or a query. Specifically, the error message states that a localElement or localParameter is required for the parameter specified by &1.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the following scenarios:
  
  
  Missing Local Element/Parameter: The parameter defined in the CDS view or query does not have a corresponding local element or parameter defined. This means that the system cannot provide value help for the parameter because it does not know what values to suggest.
  
  
  Incorrect Parameter Definition: The parameter might be incorrectly defined in the CDS view or query, leading to the system being unable to recognize it as a valid local element or parameter.
  
  
  Incompatibility with Value Help: The parameter may not be compatible with the value help mechanism, which is often used to provide a dropdown list of possible values for selection.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Parameter Definition:
  
  Open the CDS view or query definition in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the relevant transaction.
  Ensure that the parameter is defined correctly and that it is intended to be a local parameter.
  
  
  
  Define Local Element/Parameter:
  
  If the parameter is missing a local element or parameter, you need to define it. This can be done by adding a local parameter in the CDS view definition.
  Use the @Default annotation if you want to provide a default value for the parameter.
  
  
  
  Review Value Help Annotations:
  
  If you are using value help, ensure that the appropriate annotations are in place. For example, you might need to use @Consumption.valueHelp to specify the value help source.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, activate the CDS view or query and test it again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no dependencies or other objects that might be affecting the parameter's behavior.
