• Key Concepts: 
  Contained entity type is a type of entity in SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) that is used to store data related to a specific object. It is a type of entity that is “contained” within another entity, such as a customer or product. For example, a customer may have an associated address, phone number, and other contact information. This information would be stored in the contained entity type associated with the customer. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP MDG, contained entity types are used to store data related to an object. They are created by defining the fields that will be stored in the contained entity type and then assigning it to the object. For example, if you wanted to store contact information for a customer, you would create a contained entity type with fields for address, phone number, and other contact information and then assign it to the customer. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating contained entity types in SAP MDG, it is important to consider how the data will be used. Think about what fields are necessary and how they will be used in order to ensure that the data is stored in an efficient and organized manner.
