Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCBO_DEPENDENCY_CHK047 - Custom CDS View &1 used by field &2 in node &3 is in foreign namespace. ?

  The SAP error message SCBO_DEPENDENCY_CHK047 indicates that a custom Core Data Services (CDS) view is being used in a context where it is not allowed due to namespace restrictions. This typically occurs when a custom CDS view (which is usually in a customer namespace) is referenced in a standard or different namespace context.
  Cause:
  
  Namespace Restrictions: In SAP, objects are organized into namespaces. Custom objects (like CDS views) are usually created in a customer namespace (e.g., Z or Y), while standard SAP objects are in the SAP namespace. If a custom CDS view is referenced in a standard object or in a different namespace, it can lead to this error.
  Incorrect Usage: The custom CDS view might be used in a way that is not permitted, such as in a standard application or a standard CDS view that does not allow references to custom objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Namespace: Verify the namespace of the custom CDS view and the object that is trying to use it. Ensure that the custom CDS view is being used in a context that allows it.
  Modify the Reference: If possible, modify the reference to the custom CDS view to ensure it is used in the correct context. This may involve changing the design of the application or the data model.
  Create a Wrapper: If the custom CDS view needs to be used in a standard context, consider creating a new CDS view in the standard namespace that wraps the custom CDS view. This new view can then be used in the standard application.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to CDS views and namespace usage to ensure compliance with best practices.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot find a resolution, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) is a framework for defining and consuming semantically rich data models in SAP. Understanding how to create and manage CDS views is crucial for effective SAP development.
  Namespaces in SAP: Familiarize yourself with the concept of namespaces in SAP, which helps in organizing and managing custom developments.
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Regularly check SAP Notes and the official SAP Help Portal for updates, best practices, and guidelines related to CDS views and namespace usage.
  
  By addressing the namespace issue and ensuring that the custom CDS view is used appropriately, you should be able to resolve the SCBO_DEPENDENCY_CHK047 error.
