Sample: Custom CDS View using predefined Virtual Data Model and Extend View in S/4HANA

Purpose

This blog intends to encourage you to enjoy high productivity of custom object development by using predefined Virtual Data Model (VDM) in S/4HANA by providing the sample of Custom CDS Views based on predefined VDM enhanced with Extend View. By using predefined VDM, you may not have to create custom CDS Views for all entities. It is always the case that predefined content is totally reusable but it is necessary to add some fields, which is possible with Extend View.
