Background documentationConfiguration of the Workflow

 

SAP Business Workflow is used to process change requests in Master Data Governance (MDG). You have the option to use standard or custom workflow templates when defining a change request type. If you choose standard templates you can customize predefined change request process flows. If you choose custom templates you can create your own process with the workflow builder of SAP Business Workflow.

Alternatively, you can use the MDG rule-based workflow, which is based on one generic workflow template. You can configure your particular change request process with BRFplus decision tables. Using the rule-based workflow you can add or remove a change request step or change the order of the steps without the need to change anything in the workflow template by adapting the BRFplus decision tables.
