• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SD_CDS_ENTITY096 - Parsing underlying view (&1) failed ?

  The SAP error message SD_CDS_ENTITY096 Parsing underlying view (&1) failed typically occurs in the context of SAP S/4HANA when there is an issue with a Core Data Services (CDS) view. This error indicates that the system encountered a problem while trying to parse or interpret the underlying view specified by &1.
  Causes
  
  Syntax Errors: There may be syntax errors in the CDS view definition or in the underlying database objects (like tables or other views) that the CDS view depends on.
  Missing Objects: The underlying database objects (tables, views) that the CDS view references may be missing or not activated.
  Inconsistent Data Model: Changes in the data model that have not been properly reflected in the CDS view can lead to parsing issues.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the CDS view may not have the necessary authorizations to access the underlying objects.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view was transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies or missing dependencies in the target system.
  
  Solutions
  
  Check Syntax: Review the CDS view definition for any syntax errors. You can do this in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or SE11 transaction.
  Activate Objects: Ensure that all underlying database objects (tables, views) are activated. You can activate them in the relevant transactions (e.g., SE11 for database tables).
  Review Dependencies: Check if there are any changes in the underlying data model that need to be reflected in the CDS view. If necessary, adjust the view definition accordingly.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the underlying objects. You can check this using transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  Transport Consistency: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all dependent objects were transported correctly and are available in the target system.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, you may need to debug the CDS view execution to identify the exact point of failure.
