Hi SAP Community,
With any SAC Planning implementation project, there is always a requirement to load the master data and Transaction Data before we begin with the input sheets, Data actions and so on. In most of the SAC Planning scenarios, the required dimensions would most likely remain the same. So why spend energy when SAP provides us with all the detailed high quality information we need.
Eg:-
For Sales –> Country, Profit Center, Product Group, Segment, Trading Partner, Company code.
For Opex –> Cost Center
For Capex –> Asset Class, Material Group, Transaction Type
In order to populate the master dimensions, we needn’t write any custom Views or logic to achieve it, that is where Standard CDS Views comes into the picture. The official SAP documentation provides many Standard CDS views for the individual LOBs.

Some of these CDS views even come with a view that holds the text description data for that field.
