How does the SAP MDG GL account creation process work when the request is routed to an alternate approver first and then to MDG final approval?
In SAP MDG, the GL account creation request starts in Manage G/L Account Centrally - Governance, is first routed to the alternate approver after the requestor fills the change request reason and notes, then goes to the MDG team for final approval. After final approval, the GL account is available in MDG and S/4HANA.
In SAP MDG, the GL account creation request starts in Manage G/L Account Centrally - Governance, is first routed to the alternate approver after the requestor fills the change request reason and notes, then goes to the MDG team for final approval. After final approval, the GL account is available in MDG and S/4HANA.
In this MDG GL account creation scenario, the requestor starts the change request in Manage G/L Account Centrally - Governance, completes the defaulted account data, enters the mandatory change request reason and notes, and submits the CR. The CR is first assigned to the alternate/functional approver, who can edit the GL account data and maintain company code details before the request is sent to the MDG team for final approval.
