Creation of Simple Transparent Table:

Let us build a simple table that will have the information about the service request for an Equipment plant. Create a simple transparent table YDATA_TUTORIAL_1 as shown below in SE11 transaction.

Create the fields and corresponding data elements as shown below.

Once the table is created, we need to define this table in the Generic Interaction Layer/Object Layer as shown below.

I have defined GUID as one of the field in the table because of the following reason, 1) I can use this field as the key field for the table that can create unique service order for the table. 2) Also, the implementation class CL_CRM_GENIL_GEN_TABLE_OBJ will look for this key field when trying to create the GUID for this table. 3) Also, this root object Y_TUTORIAL_ROOT will be created under the Component set SO2 .

Once you create the root object, assign the search object to it as shown.

In this simple example, I have not defined any relation/method definitions. Create the mapping entries for this simple table in the customizing table CRMV_TBLOBJ_MAP,

Create the entries with the same ROOT object name created while creating the simple object.
