  Check Field Name: Verify that the field name you are trying to access is spelled correctly and matches the definition in the CDS view.
  Review CDS View Definition: Open the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or transaction SE11 and check if the field is indeed part of the view. If it is missing, you may need to modify the CDS view to include the field.
  Update Dependent Objects: If the CDS view has been changed, ensure that all dependent objects (like reports, queries, or other CDS views) are updated to reflect these changes.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the fields in the CDS view. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
