Background documentation Projection Views  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Projection views are used to hide fields of a table. This can minimize interfaces; for example when you access the database, you only read and write the field contents actually needed.

A projection view contains exactly one table. You cannot define selection conditions for projection views.

There is no corresponding object in the database for a projection view. Access to a projection view is mapped by the SAP System onto the corresponding access to its base table. It is also possible to access pooled tables or cluster tables with a projection view.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

The maintenance status of the view controls how the data of the table can be accessed with the projection view.
