The TC61 scenario shows the standard SAP MDG BP customer copy flow for a configured customer account group: a requestor copies an existing BP, updates BP and ERP customer data, performs duplicate check, submits the change request, and then the Level 1 and MDG final approvers approve it in sequence. The business partner is then searchable again after final approval.
Process flow

- Open Manage Business Partner - Governance.
- Search the configured customer account group A business partner by BP number or name.
