  • Key Concepts: 
    An append view is a type of database view in SAP that allows you to add fields to an existing database table. It is used to extend the functionality of a table without having to modify the original table. The append view is created in the ABAP Dictionary and is linked to the original table. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To create an append view, you must first create a database view in the ABAP Dictionary. Then, you can add fields to the view by selecting the “Append View” option from the context menu. You can then add fields to the view by selecting them from the list of available fields. Once you have added all of the desired fields, you can save the view and it will be linked to the original table. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating an append view, it is important to make sure that all of the fields you are adding are compatible with the original table. This will ensure that your append view works correctly and does not cause any errors. Additionally, it is important to make sure that all of the fields you are adding are necessary for your application. Adding unnecessary fields can lead to performance issues and can make your application more difficult to maintain.
