Article summary

Create a database view in SAP ERP

Zilliant CPQ uses database views in SAP ERP to verify what objects, products, classes, and characteristics to synchronize. To create a view in SAP ERP, use transaction SE11.

Note

Database view filters can return duplicate records, since SAP ERP doesn't support the DISTINCT concept when creating views. Duplicates are removed in Zilliant CPQ.

To synchronize class characteristic data, in SAP ERP, create a database view Z_ISS_CHARAC with columns MANDT, ATINN, ADZHL, ATNAM, and VDATU based on the CABN standard table. This view controls pre-filtering of characteristics for Zilliant CPQ synchronization.

The following images show a sample Z_ISS_CHARAC database view:

You can set filter conditions in the Z_ISS_CHARAC database view:
