  The SAP error message SADL_DERIVATION012 indicates that there is a cyclic dependency in the derivation of a parameter in a data model or service definition. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Service Adaptation Definition Language (SADL), which is used for defining and managing data services in SAP systems.
  
  Cause:
  The cyclic dependency arises when two or more parameters or entities reference each other in a way that creates a loop. For example, if Parameter A depends on Parameter B, and Parameter B also depends on Parameter A, the system cannot resolve the dependencies, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Analyze Dependencies: Review the parameters and their dependencies in your data model or service definition. Identify the cyclic references that are causing the issue.
  
  
  Refactor the Model: Modify the data model to eliminate the cyclic dependencies. This may involve:
  
  Changing the way parameters are derived.
  Introducing intermediate parameters
