How does SAP MDG process a supplier address update from an external supplier portal with approver workflow?
A supplier address update submitted from an external supplier portal should create a record in the MDG integration staging table, be picked up by the scheduled background job, generate a Change Request and approval notification, and then be processed in Fiori via My Change Requests - Monitoring until the approver approves it and the status becomes Final check approved.

A supplier address update from an external supplier portal is first written to the MDG integration staging table, then processed by a scheduled background job, which creates or updates the related Change Request and sends a notification to the approver. The approver then opens the request in My Change Requests - Monitoring, checks the address data, and approves it so the supplier Business Partner address is updated in MDG.
