CDS View - delete entries with duplicate key

Posted on Jan 16, 2017 at 12:34 PM 6.3k Views

Hello,

does someone know if there is a way to remove entries that have the same key from a CDS View? Distinct or Group By actually removes only duplicate entries, not entries that have just a duplicate key. Is there a way to use the select "DISTINCT" on only the key fields?

Thank you and best regards,

Cristina

    I think we can use Group by and Having count clause to remove duplicate entry.

      I had the same issue and I found a solution.

      My requirement was that I had to read the Planned Goods Issue date, Actual Goods Issue date and Delivery creation date from the delivery for every Sales Order Item from the Document flow (VBFA) , but only of the first delivery Item.

      Solution :

      @AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'ZISODELDOCFLOW'
      @AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #NOT_REQUIRED
      @VDM.viewType: #BASIC
      @EndUserText.label: 'Relation Sales Order Delivery'
      define view ZI_SODELDOCFLOW as select distinct from vbfa
      association [0..1] to I_DeliveryDocument as _Del on $projection.DeliveryDocument = _Del.DeliveryDocument
      {
      key vbfa.vbelv as SalesDoc,
      key vbfa.posnv as SalesDocItem,
      key vbfa.vbeln as DeliveryDocument,
      min (vbfa.posnn) as DeliveryItem,
      min(_Del.PlannedGoodsIssueDate) as PlannedGoodsIssueDate,
      min(_Del.ActualGoodsMovementDate) as ActualGoodsIssueDate,
      min(_Del.CreationDate) as DeliveryCreationDate
      }
      where ( vbfa.vbtyp_v = 'C' or //ORDER
      vbfa.vbtyp_v = 'I' ) and //ORDER W/O CHANGE
      vbfa.vbtyp_n = 'J' //DELIVERY
      group by vbfa.vbelv,
      vbfa.posnv,
      vbfa.vbeln

    it is a combination of min and group by clause that does the filter, for example if i don't want to have business partner repeated for different role.
    then i have to use

    min ( tb003t.role ) as xyz and i should not use tb003t.role in group clause ,which is also the way above code works.
