SAP View Cluster Example

Posted on by Isuru Fernando
View cluster is a logically grouped set of maintenance dialogs. Grouping of these maintained dialogs into one view cluster or one maintenance unit can be based on business or technical relationship. View cluster can be a collection of related tables or views which enable data maintenance in a consistence manner.
In this example there are two tables which are interrelated.
  • Student Master Data – ZSTUDENT_MASTER
  • Student address – ZSTUDENT_ADDRESS

 

Step 1: Create the two tables and set the foreign key relationship.

 

Step 2: Create views for each table and create table maintenance dialog.

Go to transaction se11 and use the option “view”.
ZVSTUDENT_MASTER

 

ZVSTUDENTADDRESS
Go to utilities and select “Table Maintenance Generator”. Repeat the step for both tables.

Step 3: Create view cluster

Go to transaction se54 and select “Edit View Cluster” and provide new cluster name. Click create/change.
Go to object structure and new entries with the view names. Set the header level and the item level parameters.

 

Generate field dependencies for each view.

 

Go back and activate the view cluster.

Step 4: Test the view cluster.

Hi, I am Isuru Fernando, Senior SAP Integration Consultant with 10 years of SAP full-cycle implementation and support project experience. From the early days, I had a passion for coding, software development, and everything tech-related. I started my carrier as an ABAP developer and soon found my love for system integration when I learned SAP XI 3.0 in 2008. Playing a variety of roles from an offshore technical consultant (ABAP, PI/PO, BW, BOBJ) at the beginning of my career to a technical lead managing a team of consultants in different countries, I have gained immense experience in SAP project implementation life cycle. Having the opportunity to work on SAP implementation projects in USA, EU, and Asia, I learned valuable ins and outs of global business processors in Sales and Distribution (SD), Material Management, Retail, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and Finance and Controlling (FICO). Through this blog, I want to share my expertise in SAP technical areas such as SAP ABAP, PI/PO, AIF, and Basis. I also want to provide a platform for others with similar ambitions who would like to share their SAP technical expertise with the world!
