How do I create a cost center in SAP MDG with requestor entry, workflow approval, and final replication to S/4HANA?
In SAP MDG, the requestor creates a cost center in the Manage Cost center - Governance app, enters the master data and validations, submits the change request, and an approver processes it from email or My Change Requests Monitoring. After approval, the cost center reaches final approval and becomes available in MDG and S/4HANA.

After approval, the cost center reaches final approval and becomes available in MDG and S/4HANA.
The standard MDG cost center creation flow starts in Manage Cost center - Governance, where the requestor creates a change request, enters the cost center basic data, address, and joint venture-related details, then runs Check and submits the request. An approver then processes the request from the email link or My Change Requests Monitoring and approves it so the cost center becomes available in MDG and S/4HANA.
