How do I configure and test a SAP MDG Business Partner supplier update workflow with L1 approval and final MDG approval?
A configured supplier account group C BP update in MDG is started in Manage Business Partner - Governance, submitted for L1 approval, then completed by the MDG final approver in My Change Requests Monitoring. The change request should move from “To be considered and approved” to “To be processed by Master Data Governance team” and finally to “Final check approved.”

The change request should move from “To be considered and approved” to “To be processed by Master Data Governance team” and finally to “Final check approved.”
For a configured Supplier Account Group C update, the requestor opens Manage Business Partner - Governance, edits the BP, maintains ERP Vendor Purchase Org. and partner functions, checks the data, and submits the change request. The request then goes to the Level 1 approver, who approves it, and finally to the MDG final approver in My Change Requests Monitoring for final approval.
