 Enabling the Configuration Examples

 

This description provides the information to setup the examples of Master Data Governance for Custom Objects.

Prerequisites

You have activated the business function Master Data Governance, Generic Functions 8.0 (MDG_FOUNDATION_6).

Process

  1. Setup of the Organizational Structure

    The assignment of processors to the workflow steps of the change request is done by using organizational structures. This structure needs to be available before the activation of the BC Set in one of the next steps. Create 2 positions, and 1 organizational unit for this assignment. The identification numbers are generated by the system and are different in each client. You can use transaction PPOC to create these structures and also to assign users to these structures. This configuration description assumes an organizational structure as depicted below.

    Organizational Unit: Flight Alliance Inc. (Code: FAI)

    • Position: Flight Application Process Expert (Code: FLAPPEXPERT)

    • User: FLAPPEXPERT

    • Position: Flight Operations Manager (Code: FLOPMAN)

    • User: FLOPMAN

    Note Note

    You can display the codes and IDs of the objects by using the Column Configuration. You need the IDs when activating the BC-Set containing the change request types. You can use the same user and assign it to each position. This will allow you to go through the change request process with one single logon and is therefore easier to use. However, to demonstrate the segregation of tasks, it is recommended to use a dedicated user for each of the positions.

    End of the note.

  2. Client Independent Configuration, Part 1 – Data Model

    With transaction SCPR20 (Business Configuration Sets: Activation), you can activate the BC-Set CA-MDG-AF-FS_SFLIGHT_DATA_MDL_03. You can ignore warning messages that change documents are not available.

  3. Client Independent Configuration, Part 2

    In this step you configure business activities, settings for structure generation, and the assignment of entity types to business object type codes. For these configuration steps, use transaction SCPR20 (Business Configuration Sets: Activation) and activate the set of BC Sets CA-MDG-AF-FS_SFLIGHT_CROSS_03. Skip the dialog that asks for a development package by not entering anything and ignore the related error message that this is not a valid development class.

  4. Client Specific Configuration

    This configuration will be done by activating the set of BC Sets CA-MDG-AF-FS_SFLIGHT_CLIENT_04 (MDG Foundation Example SFLIGHT Client-Specif Customizing 8.0).

    Note Note

    The BC Sets assume a configuration of priorities for change requests. Use the Customizing activity Define Priorities for Change Requests under Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Process Modeling End of the navigation path to check whether there are defined the priorities 1 (High), 2 (Medium), and 3 (Low). If this is not the case, these priorities have to be created before activating the BC Set. You can activate the BC Set CA-MDG-AF-FS_SFLIGHT_CR_PRIOS to define the priorities.

    End of the note.

    During the activation the system prompts you to enter the IDs of the organizational structures you want to use for agent determination. The values that you need to enter depend on how you have set up the organizational structure in step 1. Using the example values from step 1, you would have to enter the following values:

    • Agents: Flight Operations Manager — 50001128

    • Agents: Flight Application Process Expert — 50001127

    Note Note

    You can activate this BC Set in multiple clients to be able to execute the scenarios independent in each client.

    If the system raises errors during the activation of BC Sets that come from other configuration data for example, from change request types that are not contained in the BC Set, the activation fails. You first need to repair the error in the respective Customizing activity.

    End of the note.

  5. Assign the Role to Users

    Assign the role SAP_MDGX_FND_SAMPLE_SF_05 (or a copy of it) to the users that should be able to execute the example. These are the same users that you assigned to the organizational structure in step 1.

Result

The users that you have assigned to the organizational structure in step 1 are able to execute the Master Data Governance for Custom Objects Example.

Note Note

You can execute the report SAPBC_DATA_GENERATOR to populate the Flight Data Model with example data like airlines, airports, or cities. This example data will give you a better impression of the example.
