Component: CA-MDG
Component Name: Master Data Governance
Description: The subordinate entity type to-entity type in a leading relationship.
Key Concepts: Dependent entity type is a term used in SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) to refer to an entity type that is dependent on another entity type. This means that the dependent entity type cannot exist without the other entity type. For example, a customer address cannot exist without a customer, so the address is a dependent entity type of the customer. How to use it: In SAP MDG, dependent entity types are used to ensure that all related data is stored together. This helps to ensure data integrity and accuracy. When creating a new record, the user must first create the main entity type before creating any dependent entity types. This ensures that all related data is stored together in one place. Tips & Tricks: When creating a new record in SAP MDG, it is important to remember that all dependent entity types must be created after the main entity type. This will help ensure that all related data is stored together in one place. Related Information: For more information about SAP MDG and how to use it, please refer to the official SAP documentation.
