Replacing COEP, COSS & COSP with ACDOCA

[imyoga1012]

Hi Experts,

We are converting our existing ECC system to S4. We have a HANA sidecar where ECC tables are replicated and HANA models are built on top of it. After conversion to S4, I understand that few tables will be eliminated (COSP, COSS) / partially eliminated (COEP) with ACDOCA. To make sure that my HANA models in side car are not impacted I have to make sure that a for all kind of eliminations I have to have new table/ view created in side car system as a replacement of these tables.

Now when I see CDS views on top of these tables they are using some backup content or partially eliminating the table. For example:

COEP = COEP (value type other than '04' & '11') + ACDOCA(value type '04' & 11')

COSP = COSP_BCK + COEP (value type '11') + ACDOCA (value type '04')

Is there any possibility that everything (all value types) will be available through ACDOCA and we don't need to replicate/ consider other tables like COEP, COSP_BCK etc?

The new Compatibility Views in S/4HANA should contain all Value Types.

Hi Julien,

I have already gone through all these notes and docs. From there I understand the new logic to get complete set of COEP, COSP & COSS data, which involves ACDOCA + Other tables as I mentioned in my post above. What I am looking for is that-

1. Can we completely replace COEP, COSP & COSS just with ACODCA (no other tables like COEP, COSP_BAK etc used)?

2. If yes, what should be the logic that needs to be applied on ACDOCA for all the 3 tables?

1. Yes, it's feasible, but not as easy as it sounds, which is why SAP provided CDS Views COEP, COSP & COSS

2. Simply use the corresponding views COEP, COSP & COSS

Hi Steve,

Since we scrapped the S4 project we didn't reached to a final solution. For your query, SAP documentation also recommends to create views based on CDS View Logic and use it. CDS View can't be directly used in the HANA sidecar. Hope it helps.

julien.delvat.google, can these CDS views be used in HANA sidecar? If so, how please?
