Network and Data Change Request Settings Overview
Vault CRM has settings specific to Network, and settings for the management of Data Change Requests. Network Settings allow admins to integrate Vault CRM functionality with data provided by Veeva Network. Data Change Request settings allow admins to configure how user-requested changes to Vault CRM data are processed.
Admins can use these settings in conjunction to configure whether Data Change Requests are sent to Veeva Network.

Configuring Network and Data Change Request Settings for

High-Level Configuration for DCRs and Network
To enable a user to create DCRs, set the DATA_CHANGE_REQUEST_MODE Veeva Setting to 1. If this setting is 0, users cannot create DCRs regardless of other object permissions.
Customers not using Veeva Network to manage customer master data can enable this setting to begin capturing DCRs within Veeva. In addition to this setting, administrators need to configure object permissions for users who create DCRs and which fields generate DCRs when edited.
To indicate a user is a Network Customer Master user, set the NETWORK_CUSTOMER_MASTER_MODE Network Setting to 1. If this setting is 0, DCRs for editing or creating account data are not sent to Network. If set to 1, all DCRs (except for Third-Party Managed Account Types) are sent to Network.
The value in this setting is stamped on each DCR created by a user to ensure proper routing. The data is stored in the network_customer_master_mode__v field on the data_change_request__v object.
Additionally, the country of the user who created the DCR is stamped in the country_mapping__v field on the data_change_request__v object. This is used to determine which mapping should be used when processing a DCR, which assists in handling multi-country implementations. It is required that the Admin set the country__v field on the User object. The country_code__v field on the user is populated with the corresponding 2-digit ISO 3166-1 alpha 2 code, which is what will be stamped in the country_mapping__v field.
