• Key Concepts: 
  CDS annotation definition is a feature of the ABAP Dictionary in SAP that allows developers to add annotations to CDS views. Annotations are used to provide additional information about the view, such as descriptions, labels, and other metadata. Annotations can also be used to define relationships between different CDS views. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use CDS annotation definitions, developers must first create a CDS view in the ABAP Dictionary. Once the view is created, annotations can be added using the “@Annotations” keyword. Annotations can be added to any part of the view, including fields, parameters, and even the view itself. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When adding annotations to a CDS view, it is important to ensure that they are properly formatted and adhere to the syntax rules of the ABAP Dictionary. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all annotations are properly documented so that other developers can understand their purpose and use them correctly.
