What actions are possible in the Edit step of the mass processing process flow?

In the Edit step of the mass processing process flow within SAP Master Data Governance (MDG), the capability to filter and sort data, apply changes to multiple fields, and activate changed data is essential for efficient management of large data sets. This step allows users to make bulk modifications, ensuring that necessary adjustments to various fields can be handled simultaneously.

The filtering and sorting functions enable users to narrow down and organize data according to specific criteria, making it easy to focus on particular entries that need modification. Applying changes across multiple fields in one go enhances productivity by reducing the need for repetitive tasks. Finally, activating the changed data is a critical part of ensuring that updates are formally recognized within the system, transitioning the data from a modified state to an active state.

In this context, other actions mentioned in the options do not pertain to the Edit step's primary function of modifying data. For instance, activating only new data is too limited and doesn't reflect the broader capabilities in the Edit step. Exporting data to external systems is typically handled in different stages of data processing. Reviewing previous data entries does not align with the primary purpose of the Edit step, which is focused on modification rather than examination.
