  The SAP error message SCMP_EXCP001 indicates that a specific object (in this case, a view) is not defined or recognized in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's data modeling or when working with SAP HANA views, CDS views, or similar constructs.
  Cause:
  
  Object Not Created: The view you are trying to access or reference has not been created or activated in the system.
  Incorrect Naming: There may be a typo or incorrect naming in the reference to the view.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the view.

  Solution:
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify that the view exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE11 for database views, SE80 for development objects) and checking if the view is listed.
  Activate the View: If the view exists but is not activated, activate it. In the case of CDS views, ensure that the view is properly defined and activated in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT).
