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.
