Errors you might face when model reference is missing

You may face errors as “Unable to resolve field type” or “EDT ‘XYZ’ does not exist” when the model in which you use them doesn’t have reference to model where the EDT is defined.

For example you are using the field 'LedgerDimensionValueSet' field in your custom XXX model and your model doesn't have reference to "SourceDocumentationTypes" model, you will face such error.
