View-Led Customizing TransactionLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

To be able to set business objects (for example, purchasing group, currencies) you must maintain fields in several tables or several individual fields in one table. View-led Customizing transactions conceal the physical table structures. In order to make your job simpler, all of the relevant fields for an object are grouped together in one View.

Views are logical tables that group together fields from physical tables to give them meaningful business context.

Note

Views are Data Dictionary objects.

Advantages of Views

Views have the following advantages:

  • To configure a particular object, you need only one call to maintain several tables.

  • You only see those fields from the physical tables that are relevant to the business object.

  • All view-led Customizing transactions have a standard dialog, standard functions, and the same initial screen.

One-level and two-level procedures

View-led Customizing transactions are either one-level or two-level procedures:

One-level procedures

One-level procedures contain only an initial screen. You can change all of the fields that are displayed.

Two-level procedures

Two-level procedures contain an initial screen and a detail screen. The Customizing transaction will lead you to the detail screen. You can edit the fields displayed in the initial screen and in the detail screen.
