  The SAP error message SD_CDS_ENTITY050 indicates that there is an issue with the calculation of the NODE_ID or PARENT_ID fields in the context of the Core Data Services (CDS) views, particularly in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module. This error typically arises when the system is unable to derive the necessary hierarchical relationships between entities in the data model.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Data: The underlying data may not have the necessary relationships defined, leading to the inability to calculate the NODE_ID or PARENT_ID.
  Incorrect Configuration: The CDS view or the associated data model may not be configured correctly, which can prevent the system from calculating these fields.
