How does SAP MDG handle GL account creation when the change request is initiated by a Primary/Alternate Approver and follows Primary/Alternate approval plus final MDG approval?
In this MDG scenario, an Alternate or Primary Approver creates a GL account change request in the governance app, completes mandatory CR reason and notes, submits it for functional approval, then the workflow routes it to a Primary/Alternate Approver and finally to the MDG team for final approval. After final approval, the GL account is available in MDG and S/4HANA and can be verified in the master data app.

In this SAP MDG scenario, a GL account change request is created from the governance app by a Primary or Alternate Approver, validated with mandatory change request reason and notes, and then submitted into workflow. The request is first processed by a Primary/Alternate Approver, then by the Master Data Governance team, and after final approval the GL account is available in both MDG and S/4HANA.
