Decoupled Data Change Requests
To edit account data that must be validated or verified by a data steward, Vault CRM customers can use native Data Change Request functionality on the account__v, address__v, and child_account__v objects. This feature is available independent of a Veeva Network subscription (decoupled). However, for organizations without a Veeva Network subscription, admins must separately configure processes for decoupled DCR review, approval, and integration into Vault CRM and other systems.
If an HCP moves to a new office, a user can submit a DCR to change the address on his account. An admin approves the request according to the organization’s address change process, and updates the HCP’s address using an external software system integrated with Vault CRM.

Using Decoupled DCRs as

Editing Account Information with Decoupled DCRs
Users edit account information with decoupled DCRs using the same interface as they would for regular DCRs, although admins must process the request separately.
To edit account information using decoupled DCRs:
- Select the Edit action on the appropriate Account Detail page.
- Edit the desired fields. The lock icon indicates which fields are DCR controlled.
- Select Save.
- Enter any applicable Notes describing the reason for the DCR.
- Select Submit.
The DCR status is automatically set to Submitted. For decoupled DCRs, admins must configure separate processes for reviewing, approving, and updating records with the suggested change.
For more information on using DCRs, see Edit Account DCR (iPad) or Edit Account DCR (Browser).
Support for multi-country users does not apply to Decoupled DCRs.
