Here's a clear step-by-step table on how to check table data in SAP S/4HANA Cloud:

Sr No Step Description

1 Log in to your SAP S/4HANA Cloud system with your user credentials.

2 Make sure your user has the necessary roles assigned to access data (e.g., Administrator or Business Analyst roles).

3 Open the Customer Data Browser app from the Fiori Launchpad.

4 In the app, enter the name of the table or CDS view you want to check in the search field.

5 Select the relevant table or CDS view from the search results.

6 View the data preview shown in the app (note: data preview may be limited to a certain number of rows).

7 Use filters within the app to narrow down the data if needed.

8 If available, use the Export to Excel option to download the data for offline analysis.

9 For more advanced data access, create or use existing Custom CDS Views via the Custom CDS Views app.

10 Optionally, expose CDS views as OData services for integration with external tools like Excel.

This method allows you to check and work with table data within the constraints of SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

Important Notes:
Direct access to standard tables via SE16/SE11 is not available in S/4HANA Cloud public edition to ensure
system stability and upgrades.

The Customer Data Browser and CDS views are the recommended ways to view and consume data.

Data preview in CDS views is limited (e.g., 100 rows), but filters can be applied to narrow down data.

Export functionality is available in some apps to download data in Excel format for offline use.

This approach respects the cloud edition’s restrictions while allowing you to check and extract table data
effectively.

 Direct access to standard database tables via SE16, SE11, or similar transactions is not available in
S/4HANA Cloud public edition to maintain system stability, security, and smooth upgrades.
 The recommended way to view and consume data is through Customer Data Browser and CDS views
(Core Data Services), which provide controlled, read-only access.

 Data preview in CDS views is typically limited (e.g., to 100 rows), but you can apply filters to narrow down
the data displayed.

 Some apps offer an export to Excel function for offline data analysis, but large data volumes and export
sizes may have limits.

 Access to critical tables and data must be carefully restricted using authorization profiles based on the
"need-to-know" principle to prevent unauthorized changes or data exposure.

 Basis administrators and users with debugging permissions have powerful access, so these rights should
be tightly controlled, ideally using emergency or display-only concepts.

 Direct table access via generic transactions (SE16N, SM30, etc.) is highly sensitive and should be avoided
in productive cloud systems; instead, use parameter transactions or approved APIs where needed.
