• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_EXPOSURE055 - Base view &1 of &2 must not be consumption view, annotation @&3 ?

  The SAP error message SADL_EXPOSURE055 indicates that there is an issue with the definition of a base view in the context of the SAP Data Access Layer (SADL). Specifically, it states that the base view you are trying to expose as a consumption view is not allowed to be a consumption view itself. This typically occurs when you are trying to expose a view that is already defined as a consumption view, which is not permitted.
  
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect View Type: The base view you are trying to expose is defined as a consumption view, which is not allowed. In SAP, a base view should be a data source that can be used to create consumption views, but it cannot itself be a consumption view.
  Annotation Misconfiguration: The annotations in the view definition may not be correctly set, leading to the system interpreting the view as a consumption view.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check View Definition: Review the definition
