• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD_GOV_SCOPE010 - Entity type &1 has storage and use type 1 and must be governed ?

  The SAP error message USMD_GOV_SCOPE010 indicates that an entity type (denoted as &1 in the message) has a storage and use type of 1, which means it is considered sensitive or subject to governance. As a result, it must be governed according to the data governance policies set in your SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  An entity type is defined with a storage and use type of 1, indicating that it is sensitive data.
  The system requires that all sensitive data must be governed, but the necessary governance settings or configurations are not in place for that entity type.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Governance Settings:
  
  Go to the Data Governance workbench in your SAP system.
  Verify if the entity type in question is included in the governance scope. If it is not, you will need to add it.
  
  
  
  Define Governance Rules:
  
  If the entity type is not governed, you need to define governance rules for it. This may involve specifying how the data should be handled, who has access, and what compliance measures are necessary.
  
  
  
  Adjust Storage and Use Type:
  
  If the entity does not need to be governed, consider changing its storage and use type to a value that does not require governance (e.g., 0). However, this should be done with caution and in compliance with your organization's data governance policies.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation related to data governance and the specific entity type to understand the implications of governance and the required configurations.
  
  
  
  Engage with Data Governance Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the governance requirements or how to implement them, consult with your organization's data governance team or SAP support for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that the entity type is properly governed according to your organization's data governance policies.
