Projection views are used to hide certain fields of a table (projection), thus minimizing interfaces. This means that only the data that is actually required is transferred when the database is accessed.

A projection view can only refer to one table. Selection conditions cannot be specified for projection views.

There is no corresponding object in the database for a projection view. The R/3 System maps the access to a projection view to the corresponding access to its base table.

You can also access pooled tables and cluster tables with a projection view.
