In this tutorial, a template business rules project is made available in GitHub. This project has the result data object already created. You will import the CDS view based on custom business object **Bonus Plan** from the S/4HANA cloud system. --- For more information, you can read the help documentation: [Import Project](https://help.sap.com/viewer/9d7cfeaba766433eaea8a29fdb8a688c/Cloud/en-US/aab7501ef811440c8b419cff02dea43a.html) [Data Objects](https://help.sap.com/viewer/9d7cfeaba766433eaea8a29fdb8a688c/Cloud/en-US/579af46aa0aa42cea90207323959d3a7.html) ### Download template 1. **Download** the template business rules project zip from the [GitHub](https://github.com/SAP/cloud-businessrules-templates/blob/master/rulesprojects/BonusPlanCalculationRulesTemplate.zip). ![download template](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-extensibility-cbo-rules-import-rulesproject/downloadtemplate.png) ### Import project 1.

Click **Edit** and then **Activate** the data object. >After you click edit button, the options to validate and activate will appear in top-right corner of the screen. ![edit data object](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-extensibility-cbo-rules-import-rulesproject/editdataobjects.png) 5. Repeat the steps above to activate `PERCENTAGE` data object as well. ![activated data object](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-extensibility-cbo-rules-import-rulesproject/activateddataobjects.png) ### Import CDS view 1. Click **Import > Managed System** to import the CDS views from S/4HANA cloud system. ![import data object](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-extensibility-cbo-rules-import-rulesproject/importdataobjects.png) 2. In the **Import Dialog**, select the S/4HANA System from the drop-down. 3. Enter the **Name** of the CDS view corresponding to Custom Data Object based on the Bonus Plan. 4. Click **Go**. > This will search all the CDS view with the given name in the S/4HANA cloud system. 5. From the options, select your CDS view and click **Import**. ![import data object](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-extensibility-cbo-rules-import-rulesproject/importdialog.png) 6. You will see the data objects imported. > You can change the name, label and description of the data object, if needed. > Go to the **Annotation** of the data object and its attributes to see how it is mapped to the backend S/4HANA system view. ![imported data object](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-extensibility-cbo-rules-import-rulesproject/importeddataobject.png) > Each CDS view is imported into 2 data objects. One is of type structure (name ends with `TT`) and other is of type table. Table data object refers to the structure data object. 7. Click the data object with name ending with `TT` (structure type). 8. In the data object page, click **Edit** (on top-right corner) and then click **Activate** to save and activate data object. ![activate CDS view](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/abap-core-development/main/tutorials/abap-extensibility-cbo-rules-import-rulesproject/activatecds.png) 8.
