How does the SAP MDG business partner supplier unmark for deletion process work for a trade supplier group with final approval?

In SAP MDG, the requestor opens Manage Business Partner - Governance, searches the supplier BP, clears the deletion flags in the BP and ERP vendor UIBBs, submits the change request, and then the final approver processes it in My Change Requests Monitoring. After approval, the business partner is no longer marked for deletion.

In SAP MDG, the requestor opens Manage Business Partner - Governance, searches the supplier BP, clears the deletion flags in the BP and ERP vendor UIBBs, submits the change request, and then the final approver processes it in My Change Requests Monitoring. After approval, the business partner is no longer marked for deletion.

In this SAP MDG scenario, the requestor uses Manage Business Partner - Governance to find the configured supplier BP, opens the deletion request, clears the deletion indicators at BP and vendor level, and submits the change request. The approver then processes the item in My Change Requests Monitoring and approves it, after which the BP is no longer marked for deletion.
