How do I configure and execute an SAP MDG Business Partner supplier update workflow with L1 approval, MDG rejection, and withdrawal by the L1 approver?

In this MDG BP supplier update scenario, the requestor submits a Business Partner change request, the L1 approver approves it, the MDG final approver rejects it, and the L1 approver then withdraws the CR after reviewing the rejection note. The key Fiori apps are Manage Business Partner - Governance, My Change Request, and My Change Request monitoring.

In this SAP MDG Business Partner supplier update flow, the requestor edits the BP in Manage Business Partner - Governance, submits the change request, the L1 approver approves it in My Change Request, the MDG final approver rejects it in My Change Request monitoring, and the L1 approver finally withdraws the returned request after checking the rejection notes.
