What occurs to the object in SAP MDG when it is assigned to a change request?

When an object in SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) is assigned to a change request, it is locked until the change request is processed. This locking mechanism is critical to ensure data integrity and coherence within the system during the modification process. By locking the object, MDG prevents multiple users from making changes simultaneously, which could lead to data inconsistencies or errors.

This process allows for a controlled environment where changes can be reviewed, approved, or rejected systematically within the change request workflow. Once the change request is processed, the lock can be released, allowing the object to be modified or used as necessary.

Understanding this locking behavior is essential for anyone working with MDG, as it directly relates to how change requests function and the importance of data governance in maintaining accurate and reliable master data.
