Transparent Table Creation Here is the detailed process of creating a Transparent Table in SAP ABAP Dictionary with the

required screen shots. Step 1: go to SE11 select database table radio button and give the desired name we need, starts with Z or Y as shown below. And then click on create or F5.

Step 2: in the next screen give the description of the table and fill the delivery class( which helps on transporting table or upgrading SAP version) and data browser/table view.maint( allowing the maintenance of table by other users or table maintenance after activating table), according to your requirement as below.

Step 3: then go to the fields tab to create the required fields for our table.

In most of the cases we should create the tables as client dependent, for this we just have to create a field of CLNT as the first field. This field will make the data in that table which we are going to insert.

We can maintain the fields of a table in two ways 1. Using data element 2. without using data element. 1. Using data element: while we creating table field using data element, we can choose the standard data elements defined by SAP or we can create custom data elements which should start with Y or Z. Again these data elements can be created in three types as follows using domain, using predefined type, and using reference type. Do not for get to activate the domain and data element for each field. In case of pre-defined type we should maintain field labels. 2. without using data element: there is a tab next to search help tab named pre-defined type, click on that tab to insert a field without using data element.

In the next screen, inserted a field using pre-defined tab, for this click on the button pre-defined type.

For every quantity and currency fields we should maintain the reference field from the same table or any other activated table. The reference fields should be of following type. For CURR field reference field should of type CUKY and For QUAN field reference field should be of type UNIT. After the reference field assignment, save the table and maintain the technical setting by clicking the button Technical settings. Technical settings: in the technical settings maintain the data class (which specifies the actual location of the data base where the table has to be stored), size category (which is used to specify the size required for our table to store the records), and we can maintain buffering category and buffering type (which are useful to read the table records using ABAP programming and SE16 and other sources of reading the records of table). Then finally maintain the enhancement category as shown in below screen shots. Which are useful while enhancing the table using append structure or include structure for later requirement change? If we maintain it as cannot be enhanced then later we cannot enhance the table.

Finally activate the table. We can insert records in the table by creating table maintenance generator, using ABAP programs, by creating a transaction. Most of the cases we use the transactions to add records to the tables. *HOPE THIS DOCUMENT HELPS YOU*
