Procedure documentationDefining a Governance Scope

 

You can determine a governance scope based on your business needs. Ungoverned fields are read-only in change requests, unless you remove them from the user interface.

Example Example

In the material application, you can for example, remove sales grouping data from the governance scope.

End of the example.

Prerequisites

You have identified the data models whose governance scope you want to change, as well as the content within each data model that you want to govern.

You are aware of the consequences of changing the governance scope. See the help document in Customizing for Master Data Governance under Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling Next navigation step Define Governance Scope End of the navigation path

Procedure

  1. In Customizing for Master Data Governance under Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling End of the navigation path, choose Define Governance Scope.

  2. In the Data Models view, select the data model whose governance scope you want to define.

  3. Make necessary changes to the Governed settings of entity types, attributes, and referencing relationships.

    If there are dependencies, a pop-up informs you of these dependencies and proposes required changes. You can apply required changes or cancel. The following changes to governance scope are not possible:

    • Changes to the Governed setting for entity types with a storage and use type of 1.

      These entity types are shown in the Customizing activity, to enable navigation to attributes.

    • Changes the Governed setting of attributes that are key fields.

      These attributes are not shown in the Customizing activity.

    • Changes to attributes for which the Required Field setting is set to Yes in the data model.

      These attributes are not shown in the Customizing activity.

Result

You have defined a governance scope for the data model. You can keep ungoverned data model elements on the user interface for information purposes. If the elements are not informative to your users, we recommend that you remove them. For more information, see Managing of UI Configurations.
