Cannot create %S_MSG on view "%.*ls". The view contains a self join on "%.*ls".

Error Message:
Msg 1947, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot create %S_MSG on view "%.*ls". The view contains a self join on "%.*ls".

Severity level:
16.

Description:
This error message appears when you try to create an indexed view that contains a self-join.

Consequences:
The T-SQL statement can be parsed, but causes the error at runtime.

Resolution:
Error of the Severity Level 16 are generated by the user and are corrigible by the user. The statement cannot be executed this way. The self-join must be removed.

Versions:
All versions of SQL Server.

Example(s):
USE Northwind;
GO
SET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFF;
SET ANSI_PADDING,
    ANSI_WARNINGS,
    CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL,
    ARITHABORT,
    QUOTED_IDENTIFIER,
    ANSI_NULLS ON;
GO

IF OBJECT_ID ('dbo.MyOrderView', 'View') > 0
   DROP VIEW dbo.MyOrderView;
GO
CREATE VIEW dbo.MyOrderView
WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
SELECT SUM(od.UnitPrice*od.Quantity*(1.00-od.Discount)) AS Revenue,
    o.OrderDate, od.ProductID, COUNT_BIG(*) AS MyCount
  FROM dbo.[Order Details] AS od
  JOIN dbo.Orders AS o
    ON od.OrderID = o.OrderID
    JOIN dbo.Orders t1
      ON o.OrderID = t1.OrderID
 GROUP BY o.OrderDate, od.ProductID;
GO

CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX cix_MyOrderView
    ON dbo.MyOrderView (OrderDate, ProductID);
GO

Remarks:
In the above example we try to index the view MyOrderView. Because this view contains a self-join on the table Orders, the error is raised.
