How does an MDG material update request work from requestor submission to final approval in SAP S/4HANA?
In SAP MDG material update processing, the requestor creates and edits the material change request in Manage Material Master Governance, runs Save and Check, then submits it to the approver. The approver opens the request from My Change Requests - Monitoring, validates the changes, and clicks Approve to activate the change; the material is then available in MDG and S/4HANA and can be verified in Manage Product Master.

In the standard MDG material update flow, the requestor opens Manage Material Master Governance, changes the required material fields, saves, checks, and submits the change request. The approver then uses My Change Requests - Monitoring, filters to To be Processed by Me, validates the data, and approves the request. After approval, the material is activated and can be checked in Manage Product Master.
