Handling Long Field Names in OData / RAP API’s

Requuirement:-

While working with OData services in SAP, you might encounter an issue when sending long field
names like: PuchaseOrdernosendtosalesforcesystem

In such cases, your CDS view might throw an error due to the length or naming restriction.

Error Description

Solution

Use the annotation below to define the desired long field name explicitly:

@odata.property.name: ‘PuchaseOrdernosendtosalesforcesystem’

After adding this annotation, activate your CDS view, and then create:

• Service Definition
• Service Binding (V4)

Output on POSTMAN / SAP Gateway

This simple technique helps you maintain meaningful field names without breaking technical limits in Odata API’s.
