How do I configure an MDG Finance Change Request type, statuses, workflow steps, and step properties?
Create a custom copy of the standard CR type, then maintain custom statuses, workflow step numbers, and step properties for the selected MDG Finance process. For the example pattern in the source, use MDGMIMG for the CR type, status, and workflow-step setup, then MDGIMG for the Change Request step properties.

For the example pattern in the source, use MDGMIMG for the CR type, status, and workflow-step setup, then MDGIMG for the Change Request step properties.
Use MDGMIMG to create a custom copy of the standard Change Request type, then define custom statuses and workflow step numbers for that CR type. After that, use MDGIMG to configure the step properties, including the UI highlight-changes setting for each step.
Process flow
- Copy a standard Change Request type in MDGMIMG and create a custom key by adding Z.
- Adjust the workflow template if the copied CR type is not using WS60000086 and your design requires the BRF+ configurable template.
- Verify the copied CR type contains the expected Entity Types and Business Activities.
- Create the required custom Change Request statuses in MDGMIMG.
- Maintain the Rule-Based Workflow step numbers in MDGMIMG using the project step sequence.
- Configure the Change Request step properties in MDGIMG and set HC where highlight changes are required.
- Save all entries to a customizing transport and test the end-to-end CR flow.
