How do I move MDG-governed Material Master fields to another backend MM0x screen?
Do not change maintenance-status handling just to expose MDG-governed Material fields. Instead, create a custom Material Master subscreen, copy the required fields onto a Basic Data screen, and replace the standard subscreen in the relevant screen sequence.

Move the missing MDG-governed Material fields by creating a customer Material Master subscreen rather than changing maintenance-status handling. The source guide’s example uses DFPS fields, a customer function group `ZMDG_MAT`, source subscreen `SAPLMGD1/2001`, and target subscreen `SAPLZMDG_MAT/9001`, then replaces the standard assignment in `OMT3` for the relevant screen sequence.
Process flow
- Confirm the field is under MDG governance.
- Confirm why the original backend view is unavailable.
- Do not modify maintenance-status handling just to expose the field.
- Open the Material Master IMG configuration in SPRO.
- Create a Y/Z function group and note the generated SAPL main program.
- Use F1 Technical Details to identify each field's original program and screen.
- Identify the target Basic Data subscreen.
- Analyze industry sector assignment, transaction assignment, and applicable screen sequence(s).","Open SAPLMGD1/MGD1 for industry or SAPLMGD2/MGD2 for retail.","Copy the required standard subscreen.","Update the customer program's object (or
