3792327 - CDS changes after upgrade: P_BILLINGDOCUMENTBASIC replaced by I_BILLINGDOCUMENTBASIC (extension via e_*) and I_ARLOCKBOX no longer extensible - SAP S/4HANA

Symptom

  • During pre-upgrade analysis from 1709 to 2025, CDS view P_BILLINGDOCUMENTBASIC is no longer available and is replaced by I_BILLINGDOCUMENTBASIC.
  • Extended fields previously added to P_BILLINGDOCUMENTBASIC cannot be accessed directly from I_BILLINGDOCUMENTBASIC because the EXTENSION association is not exposed in its field list.
  • Access to custom fields requires manual associations or LEFT OUTER JOINs with E_BILLINGDOCUMENTBASIC.
  • After upgrade, I_ARLOCKBOX has a GROUP BY clause and no extensibility annotation, making it non‑extensible.
  • Existing extensions on I_ARLOCKBOX become invalid/redundant and custom fields cannot be accessed.
