How do I create and approve a G/L account change request in SAP MDG with primary approval and final approval?

In this MDG scenario, the requestor creates a G/L account change request in the governance app, completes the mandatory change request reason and notes, submits it to the Primary Approval team, and after primary approval the MDG team performs the final approval. Once approved, the G/L account is available in MDG and can be verified in the S/4 master data app.

In this MDG scenario, the requestor creates a G/L account change request in the governance app, completes the mandatory change request reason and notes, submits it to the Primary Approval team, and after primary approval the MDG team performs the final approval. Once approved, the G/L account is available in MDG and can be verified in the S/4 master data app.

In this scenario, the requestor starts the G/L account creation in **Manage G/L Account Centrally - Governance**, where the system defaults the initial account data and requires a change request reason plus notes. The request is first routed to the **Primary Approval** team, who can edit the request, maintain company code details, and submit it onward for final MDG approval.
