This error typically arises when you are working with the SAP ABAP programming model for SAP Fiori applications, particularly when defining entities in the service definition.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system expects a default value for a property in an entity but cannot find the required annotation. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Annotation: The CONSUMPTION.DEFAULTVALUE annotation is not defined for a property in your entity.
  Incorrect Configuration: The entity might be incorrectly configured in the CDS (Core Data Services) view or the OData service definition.
  Version Mismatch: There might be a version mismatch between the OData service and the underlying data model.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SADL_ENTITY009 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the CDS View:

  @AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'Z_MY_VIEW'
  @AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #CHECK
  @EndUserText.label: 'My CDS View'
  define root view entity ZMyEntity
  as select from my_table
  {
      key field1,
      field2,
      @Consumption.defaultValue: 'default_value'  // Add this line
      field3
  }
  
  
  Add the Annotation: If the annotation is missing, add it to the relevant field in your CDS view.
  
  
  Activate the CDS View: After making changes, activate the CDS view to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  Regenerate the OData Service: If you are using an OData service, regenerate it to reflect the changes made in the CDS view.
  
  
  Test the Service: After making the changes, test the OData service to ensure that the error is resolved.
