3744952 - Unable to add CDS view C_OutputRequestItemDEX as primary/associated data source to the external API

Symptom

Unable to add the CDS view C_OutputRequestItemDEX as the primary/associated data source to the external API.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

  • This is the current behaviour. The CDS View C_OutputRequestItemDEX is not released for development extensibility (or say, Cloud development). Therefore, it cannot be used as an external API.
  • The main purpose of this CDS View is for data extraction in key user apps.

Resolution

  • Instead of consuming C_OutputRequestItemDEX as an external API, use it as the data source to create a custom CDS view through the Fiori app "Custom CDS Views" for data extraction.
  • Raise a specific feature request for C_OutputRequestItemDEX for the ability to add it as the primary/associated data source to the external API.
  • In the Customer Influence Portal, there has already been a similar request Request ID: 334475 - Release Output Request CDS views for customer cloud development, which is also open for voting (Note: It is mainly for other CDS Views instead of specifically for C_OutputRequestItemDEX).
