How To Fix MC735 - The view ignores client-dependency of the base tables

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 735

• Message text: The view ignores client-dependency of the base tables

What causes this issue?

The view is defined so that the data is selected from at least one
cross-client base table, event though the table is client-specific.
This could be caused by the first field of the view not being a client
field or if some of the client fields of the base tables are not linked
with join conditions.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Check if this behavior is really desired. Usually it will not be
meaningful to make cross-client selections in client-specific tables.
You can define the view as client-specific by including the client
field of one of the base tables as the first field.
All the client fields of the base tables must be linked with join
conditions.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MC735 - The view ignores client-dependency of the base tables ?

  The SAP error message MC735, which states "The view ignores client-dependency of the base tables," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Material Management (MM) or other modules that involve client-dependent data. This error indicates that a database view is not properly handling client-specific data, which can lead to issues with data integrity and consistency.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  
  View Definition: The database view is defined in such a way that it does not take into account the client field (usually MANDT) of the underlying tables. This can happen if the view is created without including the client field or if the client field is not properly handled in the view's logic.
  
  
  Client-Dependent Tables: The base tables used in the view are client-dependent, meaning they store data specific to each client in the SAP system. If the view does not account for this, it can lead to incorrect data being retrieved.
  
  
  Transport Issues: Sometimes, the issue can arise from transport requests that do not properly include the client-specific settings or definitions.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the MC735 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check View Definition:
  
  Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check the definition of the view that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the client field (MANDT) is included in the view definition. If it is missing, you may need to modify the view to include it.
  
  
  
  Modify the View:
  
  If the view is not client-dependent and should be, you can modify the view to include the client field. This may involve adjusting the SQL logic or the join conditions to ensure that the client field is considered.
  
  
  
  Recreate the View:
  
  In some cases, it may be easier to recreate the view from scratch, ensuring that the client field is included from the beginning.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects and definitions were included.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific view and the error message for any additional guidance or known issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the view to ensure that it now correctly handles client-dependent data and that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Client-Dependent vs. Client-Independent: Understanding the difference between client-dependent and client-independent data is crucial. Client-dependent data is specific to each client in the SAP system, while client-independent data is shared across all clients.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message. SAP frequently releases notes that address known issues and provide solutions.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE14 (Database Utility), and SE80 (Object Navigator) for managing views and database objects.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team for further assistance.
