How do I run an SAP MDG Business Partner customer update for Configured Customer Account Group B through final approval?
For a BP customer update in Configured Customer Account Group B, the requestor edits the BP in Manage Business Partner - Governance, submits the change request, the L1 approver processes it in My Change Requests, and the MDG Final approver gives final approval. The documented status path is from 'To be considered and approved' to 'To be processed by Master Data Governance team' and then 'Final check approved'.

For TC58, the customer BP update starts in the Fiori app 'Manage Business Partner - Governance' where the requestor searches the BP, opens Edit, enters the change request description, updates the required UIBBs, checks the data, and submits the request. The workflow then moves to the L1 approver in 'My Change Requests' for processing, and finally to the MDG Final approver in 'My Change Request monitoring' for final approval.
