Should not be used as a modelling data source, what does it mean?

[SAPSupport]

Dear SAP,

I'm receiving a warning message "I_ActualPlanStatKeyFigSemTag should not be used as a modelling data source" when trying to create a Custom CDS View.

What does it mean?

Thank you.

Dear Customer,

Each Standard CDS View has Supported Capabilities, this represents well-defined consumption scenarios for CDS Views. With supported capabilities, you 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.

In this case, the CDS I_ActualPlanStatKeyFigSemTag has a Supported Capability of Modelling Association Target, so it's not indicated to use it as Data Source, the system recommends to use it as an Association in the CDS View. However, you'll still be able to publish the Custom CDS View successfully if you want to use it as a Data Source.

You can check the following documentation for more information: SAP Help Portal | Supported Capabilities for CDS Views

Best regards,

SAP Support.
