ABAP CDS Views Best Practices

Build reliable CDS views

CDS views are the backbone of modern SAP reporting. Here are best practices I follow:

  • Keep naming consistent and descriptive
  • Layer basic, composite, and consumption views
  • Document annotations clearly
  • Avoid heavy calculations in the database layer when possible

Governance

Review CDS design with functional teams to keep semantics aligned with business logic.
