Write access to the Approver

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I am new to MDG.I have a small requirement. Whenever a Change request is in Approval step, I need to provide the approver with both Read/Write privileges for the data in Change Request.Approver should be able to change the Data. Generally Approver has only the Read access. Could you please provide your suggestions on this requirement.

Thanks,

Kumar.

Hi Kumar,

in the MDG-S and MDG-C workflows, these privileges are defined by the workitem of the workflow template. To fulfill your requirement, you could either change the pre-defined workflow template, or copy it to a custom template and change it accordingly. If you copy it to a custom one, do not forget to adjust the change request types accordingly!

Best regards

Hi Michael,

Thank you  for your suggestions. My requirement is in MDG -F. I  need to configure 3 step approval process. The worflow flow is as below.

Data Steward->Tax Department rep->Accounting rep->final approval.

Data steward creates basic data, sends it to tax rep. Tax rep fills tax data and sends it to accounting rep and account rep fills it and sends to approval. Here Tax rep or accounting rep  should be able to change the data created by  data steward.

In standard workflow. we have evaluation->final processing -> approval. I believe to  suit my requirement I need to change the UI as well as the workflow . Could you please provide your inputs.

Thanks,

Kumar

Hi Kumar,

This is what I understand your requirement for the workflow process is:

Step	1	2	3	4
Performed by User	Data Steward	Tax Department rep	Accounting rep
Action by User	Create Change Request	Enter tax data in CR	Enter accounting data in CR
CR Status	NA	Changes to Be Executed	Final Check to be Performed	Final Check Approved

If Accounting rep is required to enter data in CR and he is also the last processor of the CR then all you need to do is:

1. Use Workflow template WS75700040 for your CR type
2. 'Edit Statuses of Change Requests' from MDGIMG
3. Change the column value of 'Permitted Processing' for the table entry of Step 3 (Status 04) as follows:

Status	Description	Permitted Processing
04	Final Check to Be Performed	Execution of Changes

Hope this meets your requirements.

Hi Uday,

I have done the changes. When the data steward doesn't maintain company code data and submits the CR. The system is not allowing the next approver (Accounting Rep) to maintain it.He is only able to change basic data maintained by data steward. My requirement is  that Accounting Rep should be able to maintain company code data as well aschange  the data maintained by data steward.

Thanks,

Nagendra.

Hi Nagendra,

Please you explain your scenario in more detail. I would like you to answer questions below for me to understand the scenario better:

Are you using a standard change request type ?

What entity are you processing in CR ?

Are there any customized BRF validations or UI modifications in the system ?

What kind of error message is displayed by the system if any ?

Is it possible for you to include a sample screenshot of the same ?

Best Regards

Hi Experts,

       I am working on a SAP MDG-C implementation, mdg version 6.1.

After requester submit a change request for create customer and  if an approver open that same change request, he is getting all the fields as read only.  Hence for the approver, all the fields for some blocks should be editable, specifically customer General data, Company Code data and Sales Area data.

But for approver a edit button is the on the top of Customer Details, but if I click the Edit button an error page is coming stating that “No valid target content area found ", and we are using workflow template(WS54300003) for create customer.

Please suggest me on how to achieve the requirement.

Hi Anupam,

I think this depends on the setting you have made in the MDGIMG->Process Modeling->Change Requests->Edit Statuses of Change Requests

Change the Permitted Processing column value to 'Execution of Changes' for the row having the relevant CR status (I guess its Final Check to Be Performed).

Remember this setting allows the Approver to be able to change all the fields for the customer in the CR for all the workflows that you might have configured on the MDG hub system.

Let me know if the above solution meets your requirement.

Best Regards

Hello Nagendra,

This is exactly the same issue that I am facing.

In the initial step (Requestor) the CR is submitted and in the next step (Shared Services Team) should be able to enter new Company Code or Sales Area of the Customer. The system displays the NEW button in non-editable mode.

Can you tell me how the issue is solved?
