Learn how to use ERP Canvas content packs, from cloning a model to working within a scope. Content pack models and process extensions are examples.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_erp_integration.erp_admin

Follow these steps to create an application in a new application scope and clone a content pack model within that same scope. Using this process packages the application with its own scope and a cloned model that you can
edit. Working in a scope creates ownership of the application and cloned model. The owner can give access to others to edit the application and cloned model.

Before completing the procedure, it may be helpful to review the list of [Available ERP Canvas content packs](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/RFc2CiDOx2sSAWMinp9yCQ "The following content packs are available for use in ERP Canvas to implement and deploy applications faster with less manual work.") and to [Explore an ERP Canvas content pack](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/pd41uniaGI1yDhyi1Qsd4A "Explore an ERP Canvas content pack to see what it contains, including models and process extensions. Content pack models and process extensions are examples.") to review its contents.

## Procedure

1. Create a new application.  
   Use a builder application, such as Creator Studio or ServiceNow Studio, to create an application in a new scope. For detailed information and steps, see:
   * [Create the foundation of an app in Creator Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/8Sj7iMXojqyG8ub8A7eWkg "Get started creating an app by specifying basic info for the app that you're building in Creator Studio.")
   * [Create an application in ServiceNow Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ZrWiCLN81Y8XzOoJi5r_sg "Create a custom application in ServiceNow Studio. After creating the foundations of your app, you can add data, automation, or many other types of app files using integrated development tools and builders in ServiceNow Studio.")
   * [Application scope](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ch6j1iJjd63nAIt7ogF27A "Application scoping protects applications by identifying and restricting access to application files and data.")
   {#erp-canvas-using-content-packs__ul_y2c_svr_1fc}
2. Confirm that an update set was created for the new application.
   1. Navigate to AllSystem update setsLocal update sets.
   2. Find the default update set created for the new application and select the name to open the record.  

      If a default update set was not created for the new application, follow the instructions in [Create and select an update set as the current set](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/WhPBweATEhUr5~Rp7MPLfw "Create an update set to store customization changes and select it as the current set.").
   3. In Name, type a unique name for the update set.
   4. Select Update.
   {#erp-canvas-using-content-packs__substeps_s3z_ldt_1fc}
3. Navigate to AllERP CanvasERP Canvas Home.
4. Open the ERP models page by selecting the ERP models icon (![ERP model icon]()) in the side panel.
5. Review the list of ERP models.  
6. Select a content pack model to clone.  
   Models that are part of a content pack have DP at the beginning of their ERP model name.
7. Confirm that you are still in the scope of your new application.  
   Two messages in blue are displayed. The message in the record states the application in which the model resides and that the record cannot be edited. Remember that models in a content pack are always read only and
   that you must clone the model to take ownership and make changes.

   A second message states the current application scope, which should be the application you created earlier in this procedure.

8. Select Clone.
   1. Type a new model name.
   2. Check that the correct target application is specified.
   3. Select Clone this model.  

      When the clone is complete, a success message in green is displayed.

      For more information about cloning models, see [Clone an ERP model in ERP Canvas](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/~EaS5Jl7zu6ZWjAAQ30kjA "Clone a standard ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) model that ships with ERP Canvas. After you clone the model you can make modifications, for example, by adding new fields or tables.").
   4. Select the Models tab.
   5. Select the refresh list model icon .
   6. Confirm that the new cloned model is listed.

## What to do next

Explore the new, cloned model and make changes as needed. For example, edit the mappings, inputs, or outputs. For more information, see [Building and managing ERP models to work with ERP data](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/HRzgoiy99IVfEvr_ce8MDA "ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) models function as templates for sets of tables that give you access to ERP data. Use model management to create read and update operations that access the ERP system with specified inputs and outputs to map fields for use on the ServiceNow AI Platform.").
