In which domain is the rule-based workflow set as default in SAP Master Data Governance?

In SAP Master Data Governance (MDG), the rule-based workflow is set as the default in the Financials domain. This is primarily due to the intricate nature of financial data management, where strict adherence to compliance, regulatory standards, and precise data integrity is critical. Financial master data often involves complex interdependencies and requires stringent validation rules that can be effectively managed using a rule-based workflow.

The rule-based workflow allows organizations to automate processes around the creation, approval, and modification of financial data, thus ensuring that the financial information is accurate, consistent, and in line with the organization's policies. The design of this workflow is geared to cater specifically to the unique requirements of financial operations, which can include vendor, customer, and financial account master data.

Other domains, although they may also benefit from workflows, typically do not default to a rule-based approach in the same way as Financials does, reflecting the priority and complexity inherent in financial data management.
