This lesson establishes the practical foundation for Change Requests, Workflows, Business Rules, Validation, Derivation, and Duplicate Checks. The activity uses an enterprise establishing controlled master-data creation, change requests, validation, approval, replication, and stewardship and contributes to the wider objective to govern business-partner, customer, supplier, and material master data using SAP MDG.
The instructor traces a scenario involving an enterprise establishing controlled master-data creation, change requests, validation, approval, replication, and stewardship. The walkthrough connects SAP navigation, process logic, settings, system messages, and the evidence captured in change-request and workflow design workbook. It also tests the condition where validation rules allow incomplete mandatory attributes.
Complete a controlled activity covering Change Requests, Workflows, Business Rules, Validation, Derivation, and Duplicate Checks. Preserve the final result in change-request and workflow design workbook.
Begin where expected SAP behavior first differs from the observed result. Check organizational assignments, master data, configuration sequence, authorization, integration, and transaction evidence separately. Treat “validation rules allow incomplete mandatory attributes” as a testable hypothesis until relevant settings, logs, documents, and outcomes confirm the cause.
Learners can perform Change Requests, Workflows, Business Rules, Validation, Derivation, and Duplicate Checks, explain the SAP behavior, and defend the result through change-request and workflow design workbook.
