An information message would pop up saying

Continue by pressing ‘Enter’. The following screen appears. Give a short description and click on ‘Object Structure’ as shown in the screen shot below:

On Clicking the ‘Object Structure’ the following screen appears. Select the ‘New Entries’ button to enter the maintenance views created to form a cluster.

Enter the values as shown below:

The entries would be entered in a hierarchical manner. The short text is the description of the view. The ‘Predecess’ column specifies the predecessor of that view. So in this case, the predecessor of ZMM_V_MARA is ZMM_V_MARA itself. The predecessor of ZMM_V_MARC is ZMM_V_MARA and the predecessor of ZMM_V_MARD is ZMM_V_MARC. The ‘DEP’ column explains whether the entry is a Header entry or a Dependent entry. It is ‘R’ for the view ZMM_V_MARA, because it is a header entry and does not depend on any other view. Whereas, it is ‘S’ for ZMM_V_MARC and ZMM_V_MARD, because ZMM_V_MARC is dependent on ZMM_V_MARA and ZMM_V_MARD is dependent on ZMM_V_MARC. The column ‘POS’ specifies the sequence of the views. In the column ‘Start’ select the radio button against the entry for ZMM_V_MARA as it comes first in the hierarchy.

After entering the above entries, press ‘Enter’. Three pop-ups for each view would appear as shown below. Proceed further by clicking on ‘Enter’ key.
