Procedure documentationSetting Up New Business Activities

 

You need to carry out the following steps if you want to enable users to create a single entity without having to create a change request beforehand in a separate step. As a result, the user also no longer needs to select the data model, the entity type, or the change request type. These are predefined automatically as part of the configuration settings described in this documentation.

Procedure

  1. Create a new business activity in the customer namespace.

    In Customizing for Master Data Governance, choose Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling Next navigation step Change Requests Next navigation step Create Business Activity End of the navigation path.

  2. Assign the new business activity to a change request type for single objects.

    In Customizing for Master Data Governance, choose Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling Next navigation step Change Requests Next navigation step Create Change Request Type End of the navigation path.

  3. Configure your portal content:

    1. Copy an iView that calls the Web Dynpro application USMD_ENTITY_VALUE2.

      In the copy of the iView, enter the following application parameters:

      • PROCESS=<Name of the new business activity>

        This is used to determine the data model as well as the change request type.

      • EDITING_MODE=CREATE

      • IS_CREQ_MODE=X

        This parameter ensures that the process to create the change request is started automatically when the EDITING_MODE parameter is set to CREATE or CHANGE.

    2. Add this copy of the iView to your workset to enable users to use this iView to create single entities for the entity type specified using the assigned change request type.
