How can SAP MDG create a follow-up work item to maintain BOM, PIR, or Production Versions after a material Change Request is activated?
Use a customer-specific follow-up workflow after the material Change Request is activated: create a dialog work item, send it to the MDG Inbox/POWL, and open a customer Web Dynpro app that receives the Change Request ID and Work Item ID so users can maintain BOM, PIR, PV, or similar related objects outside the closed CR.

Use a customer-specific follow-up workflow after the material Change Request is activated. The guide’s pattern is: activate the main material CR, trigger a background follow-up activity, create a dialog work item, show it in MDG Inbox/POWL, and open a custom Web Dynpro application for BOM, PIR, PV, or other related-object maintenance. The UI should provide Actions, Description, and Links, and it must receive both the Change Request ID and the Work Item ID.
Process flow
- Process the material master through the normal SAP MDG Change Request.
- Activate the Change Request successfully.
- Trigger a customer-specific background follow-up workflow.
- Create a dialog work item for the related-object maintenance task.
- Assign the task to the responsible user group, role, or department.
- Expose the work item in MDG Inbox/POWL.
- Open a customer-specific Web Dynpro application from the work item.
- Provide links to BOM, PIR, PV, or other related-object maintenance transactions/systems in the UI.
