Converting a QuickView to a SAP Query


As mentioned earlier in this chapter, QuickViews are user-dependent, and other users cannot use them. If you have created a QuickView and you want to share it with others or add to it functionality that is not supported by QuickView, you can convert the QuickView to an SAP query. To do so, follow these steps:

Note

To convert a QuickView into an SAP query, you first choose a query group that you are assigned to and that you will want to assign your query to. If the QuickView you want to convert is based on an InfoSet, that InfoSet must be assigned to your query group. See Chapter 2, "One-Time Configuration for Query Tool Use," for more information.


1.

Navigate to the main screen of the SAP R/3 Query tool by using transaction SQ01.

2.

Select Query, Convert QuickView. A Convert QuickView dialog box, like the one shown in Figure 20.9, appears. The very first alphabetical QuickView you have created appears in this dialog, as does your username.

Figure 20.9. All the QuickViews you have created are listed in the QuickView drop-down box.


3.

Click the green check mark Enter button. New fields appear on the dialog box (see Figure 20.10). Enter a name for your SAP query. Your assigned query group is listed here as the default query group.

Figure 20.10. You must input a name for your converted QuickView and declare an InfoSet.


4.

If the QuickView you want to convert was created using a logical database, a table, or a table join, input your choice for the InfoSet. The InfoSet is then generated automatically. Recall from Chapter 2 that the SAP Query tool's functionality is based on InfoSets. To be able to proceed in the SAP Query tool, you must define an InfoSet (data source) for this query.

5.

Click the green check mark Enter button. Your QuickView is now in your list of SAP queries.
