How does the SAP MDG Business Partner supplier copy process work for a Corporate Supplier group, from requestor copy through L1 approval and final MDG approval?
In the TC55 MDG BP copy scenario, the requestor copies an existing Corporate Supplier BP in Manage Business Partner - Governance, reviews the copied roles and ERP vendor data, resolves duplicate checks if needed, and submits the change request. The L1 approver then approves it, after which the MDG final approver performs the final approval and the business partner becomes searchable again in the BP search.

The TC55 process starts in Manage Business Partner - Governance, where the requestor copies an existing Corporate Supplier Business Partner, checks the copied roles and ERP vendor data, resolves any duplicate check warning, and submits the change request. The request then moves to L1 approval and finally to MDG final approval via My Change Requests Monitoring.
