BRAIN Journal-Redesigning a Flexible Material Master Data Application with Language Dependency-Figure 5. Maintenance Views

<p>Beside the tabs and the areas, the database table FLD also contains the fields TABLENAME and FIELD, which suggest the related parameters, whom input may be updated at runtime. Through standard SAP functionality the tables in BASIS, respectively their fields are by default translated in the login language of the user. So in the fields TABLENAME and FIELD of the FLD table, we will obtain, in the user login language, the names of the tables and fields from BASIS via the foreign keys to the table DD03L for TABLENAME and to the table DD02L for FIELD. Beside the database tables, 3 maintenance views have been created, TABV, AREV and FLDV, for the tabs, areas and fields of the popup (figure 5). We have chosen maintenance views instead of database views to be able to use them in the view cluster.</p>
