How do I create a Profit Center Group in SAP MDG with auto approval and hierarchy assignment?
In SAP MDG, a mass maintenance user creates the Profit Center Group in the Fiori app "Manage Profit center group - Governance", fills Controlling area, Profit center group, and Name, assigns the group under "Profit center group assignments in Profit center group hierarchies", checks the request, and submits it. The request is auto approved to "Final check approved" and the group is then visible in MDG and in the S/4 app "Manage Profit Center Groups".
In SAP MDG, a mass maintenance user creates the Profit Center Group in the Fiori app "Manage Profit center group - Governance", fills Controlling area, Profit center group, and Name, assigns the group under "Profit center group assignments in Profit center group hierarchies", checks the request, and submits it. The request is auto approved to "Final check approved" and the group is then visible in MDG and in the S/4 app "Manage Profit Center Groups".
In the standard MDG mass-maintenance flow for Profit Center Group creation, the user opens "Manage Profit center group - Governance", creates a new change request, maintains the core group fields, adds the group to the hierarchy assignment UIBB, validates with Check, and submits the request. The scenario is designed for auto approval, so the CR status becomes "Final check approved" and the created group can then be verified in the S/4 app "Manage Profit Center Groups".
Process flow
- Log on to Fiori launchpad with the mass maintenance user.
- Open "Manage Profit center group - Governance".
- Click New to create a change request.
- Maintain Controlling area, Profit center group, and Name.
- Open "Profit center group assignments in Profit center group hierarchies".
- Create a hierarchy assignment and enter the root node.
- Select the group and mark it as Assign as Subnode.
- Run Check and confirm "No errors found" if valid. Submit the change request. Verify the created group in "Manage Profit Center Groups" in S/4HANA.
