Use SAP MDG Central Governance to manage a customer-defined object centrally. The guide’s example object is SITE, and the implementation is done in flex mode with a simple two-step approval process, a search application, and a web-based single-processing UI. It is an introductory guide, so it does not cover every custom-object topic.
Process flow
- Confirm prerequisites and access.
- Define BO Type Code `ZK_BO1` in `MDGIMG`.
- Create data model `ZK` with namespace `ZSZK` and package `$TMP` in the example.
- Create root entity `SITE` with Storage Type 1 and data element `ORTID`.
- Add SITE attributes and mark `NAME` as required.
- Assign `ZK_BO1` as the root business object and activate the model.
- Verify generated objects and `genIL` component `ZSP_ZK` if needed.
- Create Business Activity `ZKBA` for logical action `CREATE`.','Create Change Request Type `ZKCREATE` with main entity `SITE` and workflow `WS46000027`.','Maintain workflow steps and processor assignments.','Configure the search UI by deep-c
