3533639 - Warning message as 'Should not be used as a modelling data source' in Custom CDS View App

Symptom

When adding the data source (example: I_BusinessPartner, I_ActualPlanStatKeyFigSemTag ) as the primary data source while creating a custom CDS view, a warning message appears stating: "Should not be used as a modeling data source."

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

Each Standard CDS View has Supported Capabilities, this represents well-defined consumption scenarios for CDS Views. With supported capabilities, we can get an idea of the most efficient way to use a CDS View. For example, supported capabilities can recommend using a CDS View as a data source or association target.

For example the CDS I_BusinessPartner has a Supported Capability of Modelling Association Target, so it's not indicated to use it as Data Source.

Resolution

The Custom CDS View can still be published successfully if it is intended to be used as a data source, despite the warning message.
