• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SD_CDS_ENTITY097 - Check is only supported for projection views ?

  The SAP error message SD_CDS_ENTITY097 typically indicates that there is an issue related to the use of Core Data Services (CDS) views in the context of the Sales and Distribution (SD) module. This error specifically states that a check operation is being attempted on a projection view, which is not supported.
  Cause:
  
  
  Projection View Usage: The error arises when a check operation (like a validation or a data retrieval operation) is attempted on a projection view. Projection views in CDS are designed to expose a subset of fields from a data source and do not support certain operations that are available for other types of views (like consumption views).
  
  
  Incorrect View Type: The CDS view being used may not be the correct type for the operation being performed. If the operation requires a full data set or additional fields that are not included in the projection view, this error will occur.
  
  
  Misconfiguration: There may be a misconfiguration in the way the CDS views are defined or how they are being called in the application.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check View Type: Ensure that you are using the correct type of CDS view for the operation you are trying to perform. If you need to perform checks or validations, consider using a consumption view instead of a projection view.
  
  
  Modify the CDS View: If you have control over the CDS view definition, you may need to modify it to include the necessary fields or change it from a projection view to a consumption view, depending on your requirements.
  
  
  Review the Logic: Review the logic in the application or report that is triggering this error. Ensure that it is correctly referencing the appropriate CDS view and that the operations being performed are supported by that view.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for Core Data Services to understand the differences between projection views and consumption views, and to get guidance on how to structure your views appropriately.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to the development environment, you can debug the code to see where the error is being triggered and gather more context about the data being processed.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) is a framework for defining semantically rich data models in SAP. Understanding the different types of views (projection, consumption, etc.) is crucial for effective use.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or Knowledge Base Articles (KBAs) that may address this specific error or provide additional context.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered this error and what solutions they have found.
