How To Fix MC682 - View & does not yet exist in the database

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MC - Aggregate: views, matchcodes, lock objects

• Message number: 682

• Message text: View & does not yet exist in the database

What causes this issue?

A database view was defined and activated in the ABAP/4 Dictionary.
No corresponding view in the database was created for this view
definition, so that all the accesses to this view would result in the
corresponding error messages of the database.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

This situation can occur e.g. in the initial activation of a database
view because activation in the ABAP/4 Dictionary does not
automatically cause the corresponding object to be created in the
database.

System Response

The system detects the inconsistency between the ABAP/4 Dictionary and
the database and gives a warning.

How to fix this error?

Create the view in the database. Use the database utility (e.g. by
selecting transaction SE14).
