MDG Vendor Governance Approve Step

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Wondering if anybody has encountered the following situation:

MDG Governance for Vendor Master has a requestor and an approver workflow step. The requestor (person A) requests Vendor data to be created, so it fills the necessary data in NWBC (Vendor name, address, payment terms, etc). The Change Request gets submitted and then it goes to the Approver (person B).

The Approver can approve and the Vendor gets activated in the Database or the Approver can reject it, so it goes back to the Requestor.

Now the Approved should ONLY have the ability the Approve or Reject but not to change the data. Currently, the standard functionality allows the Approver to change the data at the same time he/she approves it, bypassing audit controls.

Has anybody has seen this situation and have the need for the Approver to only Approve or Reject the change request WITHOUT further changing the Vendor data the Requestor submitted?

We would like for the Approver to NOT have the ability to further change the Vendor data, just to Approve or Reject.  Is this done via security?

We appreciate any input on this.

Thanks,

-Arturo Blasi

Hi Arturo,

In transaction MDGIMG, click on below link:

Choose the status which will be set after a Change Request is submitted and set it as "No Processing" like below and save it. With this assignment you cannot change objects of a change request on this status.

Thanks!

Hello Arturo,

Please make the STATUS for that step  as NO processing allowed.

Thanks,
