  • SAP Tcode: OVCD - Definition of Reporting View
    
    Overview:
    The SAP transaction code OVCD is used to define a reporting view in the SAP system. It is used to create a reporting view that can be used to analyze data from multiple sources. This transaction code is part of the SAP Business Warehouse (BW) module. 
    
    Functionality: 
    The OVCD transaction code allows users to define a reporting view in the SAP system. This view can be used to analyze data from multiple sources, such as tables, queries, and InfoProviders. The reporting view can also be used to create reports and dashboards. 
    
    Step-by-step How to Use: 
    1. Log into the SAP system and enter the transaction code OVCD. 
    2. Select the “Create” option from the menu bar. 
    3. Enter a name for the reporting view and select the type of view you want to create (e.g., table, query, or InfoProvider). 
    4. Select the data sources you want to include in the view and enter any additional parameters (e.g., filters or sorting criteria). 
    5. Click “Save” to save your changes and activate the reporting view. 
    
    Other Recommendations: 
    It is recommended that users test their reporting views before using them in production environments. This will ensure that the view is working correctly and that all data sources are included correctly. Additionally, users should regularly review their reporting views to ensure that they are up-to-date with any changes in the underlying data sources.
