• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG374 - Client field does not need to be specified in client-specific CDS view ?

  The SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG374 indicates that there is an issue with the definition of a Core Data Services (CDS) view in SAP. Specifically, the error states that the "Client field does not need to be specified in client-specific CDS view." This typically occurs when you are trying to define a CDS view that is intended to be client-specific, but you have explicitly included a client field (usually the MANDT field) in the view definition.
  Cause:
  
  Client-Specific CDS View: The CDS view is defined as client-specific, which means it is intended to operate within the context of a specific client in the SAP system.
  Inclusion of Client Field: The error arises because the MANDT field (which represents the client) is automatically handled by the system for client-specific views. Therefore, you do not need to include it in the view definition.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to remove the client field (MANDT) from the CDS view definition. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  Open the CDS View Definition: Go to the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse or the relevant transaction in the SAP GUI where you can edit the CDS view.
  Edit the View: Locate the line in the CDS view definition where the MANDT field is included.
  Remove the Client Field: Delete the line or the reference to the MANDT field from the view definition.
  Activate the CDS View: After making the changes, activate the CDS view to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Client-Specific Views: In SAP, client-specific views are designed to allow data segregation by client. This means that data can be maintained separately for different clients within the same SAP system.
  CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) is a framework for defining semantically rich data models in SAP. CDS views can be used to create complex queries and data models that can be consumed by various applications.
  Documentation: For more detailed information on creating and managing CDS views, refer to the official SAP documentation or the SAP Help Portal.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully activate your client-specific CDS view.
