SAP CDS Training (ABAP Core Data Services)
Learn ABAP CDS to build data models, analytical views and access controls that power S/4HANA, Fiori and RAP.
Course Overview
ABAP Core Data Services (CDS) is the data modelling layer of SAP S/4HANA. CDS views define rich, reusable data models with annotations that drive Fiori UIs, analytics and services.
Where it is used:
Used throughout SAP S/4HANA — the virtual data model, embedded analytics, Fiori elements apps and RAP are all built on CDS.
What you will learn:
- Create CDS view entities with joins, associations and expressions
- Use annotations for UI, OData and analytics
- Apply parameters, built-in functions and aggregations
- Secure data with CDS access control (DCL)
- Understand the S/4HANA virtual data model and table functions with AMDP
How you will learn — Learn While Developing:
You start with the essential SAP CDS fundamentals and the business process or technology behind it. After the foundation, you move into practical project work: scenario-based tasks, and real project-related tasks where applicable. You research the concepts each task needs, work with guidance from our developers and technical professionals, and test, troubleshoot and improve your work — so you experience how SAP solutions are actually built and implemented.
Using AI responsibly:
Where relevant, you learn to use modern AI tools responsibly for research, learning, problem solving and productivity — without replacing your SAP fundamentals.
Career relevance:
SAP CDS skills are relevant for roles such as SAP ABAP Developer, SAP S/4HANA Technical Consultant and SAP Embedded Analytics Developer. We support you with interview preparation and placement assistance; final selection depends on your skills, interviews and the hiring company.
Who can join:
ABAP developers and SAP technical students working with S/4HANA.
