CategoryCDS Views for VCM
StatusVCM_VALUE_CHAIN_STEP_STATUS
Purpose
This CDS view helps you identify all the documents involved in a single chain item within the same value chain. Additionally, it can be used to navigate other documents linked to the same item GUID. For example, if you are at one step and want to find information about another step, this CDS view can be utilized.

Authorization
Users who want to use this CDS view must have the following authorization object assigned: C_VCM_INST .

Structure
CDS View Parameters This CDS view requires following three specific inputs: P_ValueChainStepBusinessObject : Represents the type of business object, such as: SALES_ORDER BILLING_DOCUMENT MATERIAL_DOCUMENT PURCHASE_ORDER SUPPLIER_INVOICE STOCK_TRANSPORT_ORDER OUTBOUND_DELIVERY INBOUND_DELIVERY P_ValueChainBusinessObject : Indicates the ID of the business object document, with leading zeroes for accurate identification. Example If a business object document, such as a sales order, requires a 10-digit ID and the number is 12345, it is stored with leading zeroes as 0000012345. Only for material documents or supplier invoices, the document number is combined with the posting year. For instance, if the supplier invoice number is 5100000000 and the posting year is 2025, the business object value is 51000000002025. P_ValueChainBusinessObject : Refers to the item ID of the business object document, with leading zeroes for accurate identification. Example To enter line item 10 of a sales order, use the 6-digit format for line items and enter it as 000010. Important Fields Important fields in this view include the following: Field Name Data Element Description Inputs ValueChainStepInstanceUUID VCM_STEP_UUID UUID of Value Chain Step ValueChainBusinessObject VCM_BUSINESS_OBJECT_ID ID of Business Object ValueChainBusinessObjectItem VCM_BUSINESS_OBJECT_ITEM_ID Item ID of Business Object Chain Related Fields ValueChainInstanceUUID VCM_INSTANCE_UUID UUID of Value Chain Instance ValueChainType VCM_VALUE_CHAIN_TYPE Value Chain Type ValueChainTypeVersion VCM_VERSION_NUMBER Version of Value Chain FinancialChain FCH_FINANCIAL_CHAIN_ID Financial Chain ID ValueChainInstanceStatus VCM_VALUE_CHAIN_STATUS Processing Stage of Value Chain – Runtime.
