  The SAP error message SADL_GEN_DRFT_MSG060 indicates that there is an issue with the key fields of an association in a Core Data Services (CDS) view. Specifically, it means that the key fields required for the association are missing in the specified CDS view.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Key Fields: The association defined in the CDS view requires certain key fields to be present, but they are not included in the view definition.
  Incorrect Association Definition: The association might be incorrectly defined, leading to a mismatch between the expected key fields and those present in the CDS view.
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been changes in the underlying data model (like changes in the database tables or structures), the CDS view may not reflect these changes correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the CDS View Definition:
  
  Open the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the relevant transaction.

  Review the Association:
  
  Check the association definition in the CDS view. Ensure that it correctly references the key fields from the associated entity.
  Make sure that the association is defined correctly with the appropriate cardinality and join conditions.
  
  
  
  Update the CDS View:
  
  If key fields are missing, add them to the CDS view.
  If the association is incorrect, modify it to align with the correct key fields.
  
  
  
  Activate the CDS View:
  
  After making the necessary changes, activate the CDS view to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
