Hello,

I am creating CDS table which is having one field type of MENGE for quantity,

but it is throwing error for annotaions

I tried with Semantics.quantiy,unitofmeasue: 'Base UOM' but didn't work.

If anyone has solution please share.

error : Annotation with reference to unit code for field HOT_WEIGHT is uncomplete

Thanks

Should be:

...
@Semantics.quantity.unitOfMeasure: 'hot_weight_uom'
hot_weight    : /lsp/e_hot_weight;
@Semantics.unitOfMeasure
hot_weight_uom: /lsp/e_hot_weight_uom;
...

@Semantics.quanity.unitOfMeasure must be a reference to a Unit of Measure field; in your case hot_weight_uom. The Unit of Measure field must be annotated with @Semantics.unitOfMeasure

vikash.pathak What is the warning message for the @Semantics.unitOfMeasure annotation?

Maybe you have to add "true" as value (which is the default in new version):

@Semantics.unitOfMeasure: true

It is MEINS,

This issue is resolved now.

with semantics annotation table name has to be added

@Semantics.quantity.unitOfMeasure:'/xx/xx.hot_weight_uom'
