Customer and supplier master data

Approval workflows for master data changes

Give company administrators control over their connections. Keep setup, record review and automatic-update approval as separate decisions.

Who controls Business Partner master-data updates?

Data governance here means defined company access, self-service activation and explicit approvals for source changes. A company administrator can configure the company without a separate SaaS-admin enablement.

Separate setup from update approval

Company self-service

The company workspace limits access to its configuration and process results.

Separate decisions

Manual review confirms individual proposals. Critical automatic modes use the required administrator verification.

Bounded automation

Record outcomes and error references give the team a way to follow up incomplete work.

How it works

  1. 1

    Configure

    Set up the company.

  2. 2

    Activate

    Configure and test a connection.

  3. 3

    Review

    Approve the chosen process and records.

  4. 4

    Confirm

    Check results and resolve outstanding cases.

Practical example

Example: Governance Workflows

A company administrator activates source updates. Users still review the proposed merge, and an automatic bulk mode has its own approval.

Stopping remaining work does not undo writes already completed. Source automation can run after an update.

Frequently asked questions

What does this process do?
It separates company configuration, connection activation and process approvals.
Which systems and data are covered?
The safeguards apply to the supported company workflows; external ERP permissions remain in force.
What access or approval is needed?
Production safeguards for critical automatic changes require the applicable administrator verification.
What should I check before using it?
An approval is scoped to the process. It does not create unlimited requests or override ERP authorization.
