  The SAP error message SD_CDS_ENTITY084 indicates that there was an issue while filling the field OUTPUTLEN for a specific entity in the context of Core Data Services (CDS) views, particularly in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module. This error typically arises during the execution of a CDS view or when trying to access data that is defined in a CDS view.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The field definitions in the CDS view may not match the underlying database table or structure, leading to issues when trying to determine the output length.
  
  
  Incorrect Field Length: The field length defined in the CDS view may exceed the maximum allowed length for the corresponding data type.
  
  
  Modeling Errors: There may be issues in the way the CDS view is modeled, such as incorrect annotations or relationships between entities.
  
  
  Database Issues: There could be underlying database issues, such as corrupted data or inconsistencies in the database schema.

  Solution:
  To resolve the SD_CDS_ENTITY084 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Field Definitions: Review the field definitions in the CDS view and ensure that they match the underlying database structure. Pay special attention to data types and lengths.

  Review Annotations: Check the annotations in the CDS view for any potential issues. Ensure that they are correctly defined and that there are no conflicts.
  
  
  Test the CDS View: Execute the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or in the SAP GUI to see if the error persists. This can help isolate the issue.
