Inheriting anotations from ABAP CDS Views

Hello All,

I am trying to get the text descriptions from the existing CDS that I am referring in my custom ABAP CDS. The underlying cds is I_SalesDocumentItem and this has all the annotations for the characteristics needed such as material, various reason codes, statuses etc.

In my Custom CDS at the top there is a declaration and I set it as false.

@Metadata.ignorePropagatedAnnotations: false

...

In the CDS definition I am using the association like below

select from I_SalesDocumentBasic as _HDR

association [0..*] to I_SalesDocumentItem as _Item on _Item.SalesDocument = _HDR.SalesDocument

and in the body of the cds I do have foreign key annotation

@ObjectModel.foreignKey.association: '_SalesOrganization'

_HDR.SalesOrganization,

at the end of the CDS I have association added as well...

_Item.

In SAC after exposing the CDS thru Composite and Consumption layer, the SalesOrganization

does not show description though the dimension display is set as 'ID and Description' option.

But when I use explicitly define an association in the CDS and use the annotation

@ObjectModel.foreignkey.association for another object it shows description in SAC from teh same CDS.

Is there anyway I can inherit the text descriptions from the existing CDS rather than redoing allover again?

Let me know how to resolve this..

thanks,

Arthur.

did you expose _SalesOrganization in your cds?
