  The SAP error message SD_CDS_ENTITY104 typically indicates that there is an issue with the WHERE clause in a Core Data Services (CDS) view related to Sales and Distribution (SD). This error can occur when the CDS view is trying to filter data based on certain conditions, but the conditions are not valid or cannot be processed correctly.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Invalid Field References: The fields referenced in the WHERE clause may not exist or may not be accessible in the context of the CDS view.
  Data Type Mismatches: There may be a mismatch between the data types of the fields being compared in the WHERE clause.
  Logical Errors: The logic used in the WHERE clause may be incorrect, leading to an invalid query.
  Missing Annotations: Required annotations for the CDS view may be missing, which can affect how the WHERE clause is interpreted.
  Database Constraints: The underlying database may have constraints that prevent the execution of the query as defined in the CDS view.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the SD_CDS_ENTITY104 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Field References: Verify that all fields used in the WHERE clause are correctly spelled and exist in the CDS view. Ensure that they are accessible in the context of the query.
  
  
  Validate Data Types: Ensure that the data types of the fields being compared are compatible. If necessary, use type conversion functions to align the data types.
  
  
  Review Logic: Examine the logic in the WHERE clause for any potential errors. Ensure that the conditions make sense and are logically sound.
  
  
  Add Missing Annotations: If the CDS view requires specific annotations (like @Analytics.dataCategory), ensure they are included in the definition.
  
  
  Test the Query: If possible, test the query in a simpler form to isolate the issue. You can gradually add conditions back to identify which one is causing the error.
  
  
  Check Database Constraints: Review any database constraints that might affect the execution of the query. Ensure that the data being queried meets these constraints.
