1. Introduction
SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) provides business processes to find, create, change, and mark master
data for deletion. It supports the governance of master data in a central hub and the distribution to connected
operational and business intelligence systems.
The processes are workflow-driven and can include several approval and revision phases, and the collabora
tion of all users participating in the master data maintenance.
MDG offers change request (CR)-based processing of master data with integrated workflow, staging, approval,
activation, and distribution.
2. Business Scenario
Standard – standard text, standard text, standard text, standard text, standard text, standard text, standard
text, standard text, standard text, standard text, standard text, standard text, standard text, standard text, stan
dard text, standard text, standard text, standard text, standard text, standard text, standard text, standard text,
standard text, standard text, standard text, standard text, standard text, standard text, standard text, standard
text, standard text, standard text, standard text.
In multi-record processing, you can define different user interfaces for the same change request step. For
example, you can make the initial step appear different to the approval step or the processing step.
The example in this document uses the following technical elements:
• Data model: SF
• Entity type: CARR
• Change request type: SFC0M
• UI configurations specific to data model SF and entity type CARR:
– MDG_BS_GEN_MC_OVP_SF (multi-record processing)
– USMD_SF_OVP_CARR (single-object processing)
3. Customizing
3.1. Making the User Interface Depend On the Change Request Step
You use the Configure Properties of Change Request Step activity to customize a change request step for a
specific change request type. You can find this activity in Customizing for Master Data Governance (transac
tion MDGIMG) under General Settings Process Modeling Change Requests Configure Properties of
Change Request Step.

In the User Interface per Change Request Step view, you select a Configuration ID for each of the change
request steps:
• Select the UI for multi-record processing UI (MDG_BS_GEN_MC_OVP) for the change request step 00
(draft step) and for change request step 02.
• Select the process change request UI (USMD_CREQUEST_PROCESS) for change request step 01.
