Symptom
A requirement exists to access CD views for analyzing and tracking sales document flow in SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to app "View Browser".
- Search for CDS views related to sales document flow in the application component SD-SLS (Sales and Distribution - Sales).
- Observe that only specific CDS views are available for document flow analysis.
Cause
- Sales document flow is managed through standard CDS views in SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud.
- Unlike SAP S/4HANA On-Premise, where custom CDS views can be created, Public Cloud restricts direct development and modification.
- The available predefined standard CDS views must be leveraged for sales document flow analysis.
Resolution
In SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, the following two standard CDS views are available for sales document flow analysis:
1. I_SDDocumentProcessFlow
- Provides document flow information for sales and related documents.
- Used for tracing relationships between sales orders, deliveries, and invoices.
2. I_SDDocumentMultiLevelProcFlow
- Provides a multi-level document flow, enabling a hierarchical view of document relationships.
- Useful for complex order-to-cash scenarios where multiple documents are linked.
