• Key Concepts: 
  External Item Content Control (EICC) is a feature of the OPU-TNG Tango component of SAP that allows users to control the content of external items. This feature enables users to define and manage the content of external items, such as documents, images, and videos, that are stored in the SAP system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use EICC, users must first define the content of the external item. This can be done by creating a content definition in the SAP system. Once the content definition is created, users can then assign it to an external item. The content definition will then be used to control the content of the external item. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a content definition for an external item, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included in the definition. This includes any restrictions or requirements that need to be met for the external item to be accepted into the SAP system. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is kept up-to-date in order to ensure that the content of the external item remains valid and compliant with any applicable regulations.
