SAP CDS views on SAP Group Reporting

It's tricky to have a definitive "list" of CDS views for SAP Group Reporting. Here's why:

• Constantly Evolving: SAP continuously updates and adds CDS views, so any list might be outdated quickly.
• Scope Depends on S/4HANA Version: The available CDS views vary depending on your S/4HANA version (on-premise or cloud) and your specific Group Reporting configuration.
• Purpose-Built: Many CDS views are designed for very specific tasks within Group Reporting, making a generic list less useful.

However, I can guide you towards finding the right CDS views:

1. SAP Help Portal: The official SAP Help Portal is your best resource. Search for "CDS Views for Group Reporting" within the S/4HANA documentation relevant to your version. This will usually provide a categorized view of relevant CDS views.
2. View Browser in S/4HANA: Within your S/4HANA system, use the View Browser app (transaction SE16H) to explore CDS views. You can filter by name or annotation to find those related to Group Reporting. Look for views with names starting with I_GRPC or similar prefixes.
3. Focus on Functional Area: To narrow down your search, consider the specific Group Reporting functionality you need:
   • Consolidation of Investments: Look for views related to investment hierarchies, ownership structures, and consolidation methods.
   • Financial Statement Preparation: Search for views providing data on balance sheets, income statements, and cash flows at the group level.
   • Group Reporting Data Collection: Explore views that facilitate data collection from subsidiaries or source systems.

Example CDS View Categories:

• Consolidation Unit Data: Views providing information about consolidation units, their hierarchies, and attributes.
• Group Chart of Accounts: Views representing the group-level chart of accounts used for consolidation.
• Consolidation Journal Entries: Views capturing consolidation adjustments and eliminations.
• Financial Statement Items: Views presenting consolidated financial statement data.

Important Notes:

• Authorization: Access to CDS views is controlled by authorizations, so you may not see all views depending on your user role.
• Custom CDS Views: You can create your own CDS views on top of the standard ones to tailor them to your specific reporting requirements.

By combining these approaches, you can effectively identify and utilize the appropriate CDS views for your Group Reporting needs in SAP S/4HANA.
