• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_GEN_DRFT_MSG063 - CDS-View &1 must not contain draft specific fields ?

  The SAP error message SADL_GEN_DRFT_MSG063 indicates that a Core Data Services (CDS) view is not compliant with the requirements for draft handling in the SAP system. Specifically, it states that the CDS view must not contain draft-specific fields when it is intended to be used in a draft-enabled application.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a CDS view includes fields that are specific to draft handling, such as:
  
  Draft UUID
  Draft status
  Any other fields that are used to manage draft scenarios
  
  Draft handling is a feature in SAP that allows users to create and edit documents without immediately saving them. When a CDS view is intended for draft scenarios, it should not include fields that are not relevant to the draft context.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to modify the CDS view to ensure that it does not include any draft-specific fields. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Review the CDS View Definition: Open the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the relevant development environment.
  
  
  Identify Draft-Specific Fields: Look for fields that are related to draft handling. These may include:
  
  DraftUUID
  DraftStatus
  Any other fields that are not necessary for the view's purpose.
  
  
  
  Remove or Exclude Draft Fields: If you find any draft-specific fields, remove them from the CDS view definition. Ensure that the view only contains fields that are relevant for the intended use case.
  
  
  Check Annotations: Ensure that the annotations related to draft handling are correctly defined. If the view is not intended for draft scenarios, make sure that it does not have any draft-related annotations.
  
  
  Activate the CDS View: After making the necessary changes, activate the CDS view to apply the modifications.
  
  
  Test the Changes: Test the application or functionality that uses the CDS view to ensure that the error is resolved and that the application behaves as expected.
