How do I configure and execute an SAP MDG G/L account update workflow with requestor submission, primary approval, and final MDG approval?
In SAP MDG, a G/L account update request is created in Manage G/L Account Centrally - Governance, routed first to the Primary Approver, then to the Master Data Governance team for final approval, and after approval the updated G/L account is available in MDG and replicated to S/4HANA.
In SAP MDG, a G/L account update request is created in Manage G/L Account Centrally - Governance, routed first to the Primary Approver, then to the Master Data Governance team for final approval, and after approval the updated G/L account is available in MDG and replicated to S/4HANA.
This scenario uses the Fiori app Manage G/L Account Centrally - Governance for the requestor, then My Change Requests Monitoring for the approvers, and finishes by verifying the updated G/L account in Manage G/L Account Master Data. The requestor updates the company code data, checks the request, submits it for Primary Approval, and after the primary approval the request is routed to the Master Data Governance team for final approval.
Process flow
- Log on to Fiori launchpad with the G/L account requestor user.
- Open Manage G/L Account Centrally - Governance.
- Search for the existing G/L account in the configured G/L account group.
- Open the account and switch to edit mode.
- Add or update company code data in Account in Company Codes.
- Select the company code from F4 help and confirm defaulted fields.
- Click Done to return to the CR main page.
- Click Check and validate the request data; ensure no errors are found before submission, then submit the CR to Primary Approval by the workflow engine (source shows the status as "To be processed by Primary Approval"). Primary approval: 9.
