Maintenance views

Former Member

Hi Guys,

I have 2 tables ZHEADER and ZLINE. In the table ZHEADER all i have is key fields which are foreign keys of

ZLINE.

PROBLEM: I want to create a Maintenance view in which i can do the maintenance for both the tables from SM30.

In the join conditions when i key in ZHEADER and click on Relationship button it doesn't pull up the fields as expected.

What can be wrong ?

For Reference the Structure of both the tables is as follows.

ZHEADER

Field	Data type	Key
MANDT		MANDT	X
PERNR		PERSNO	X
PLAN_TYPE	TEXT6	X
PLAN_BASIS	TEXT6	X
QUARTER	TEXT6	X
FYEAR		TEXT4	X

ZLINE

Field	Data type	Key	
MANDT		MANDT	X
PERNR		PERSNO	X
BEGDA		DATUM	
ENDDA		DATUM	
ENAME		EMNAM

u should go for View Cluster Maintenance .

View Cluster Maintenance is a collection of various views into a joint maintenance interface with a joint navigation area, which belong logically or hierarchically to a commercially or technically complex function. View clusters are created in Generate table maintenance dialog (SE54). You can maintain related data in several tables/views consistently in a view cluster. In other words, it can be said that a view cluster is the set of objects, such as views, reports or tables, which belong to one business function. The data can be arranged either hierarchically or non-hierarchically in view cluster. Through this utility one can view / edit cross-table data in a single transaction. The transaction navigation box shows the complex business object with its components or sub-components, like master-detail data. Through view cluster, one can actually perform the operations like:

u2022 Navigate among the object at various hierarchies

u2022 Display table entries

u2022 Create new table entries

u2022 Change the existing ones

u2022 Delete entries

u2022 Create / View / Edit child data for a combination of master and detail data

u2022 Print a customized list

u2022 Analyze tables

u2022 Save work at any level in the object hierarchy

Hi Jyotish,

I have completed this exercise.

Can't we create Maintenance views for tables which don't have language as a key. I have seen 95% of the Maintenance views for Text Tables.
