Which additional step is needed in a workflow when a custom attribute is populated?

When a custom attribute is populated in a workflow within SAP Master Data Governance (MDG), creating a custom change request status with an additional step is essential for ensuring that the workflow processes the new information effectively. This step involves defining specific conditions or requirements to accommodate the new data, ensuring that the workflow can handle requests that include the custom attribute appropriately. By establishing a new status and linking it to additional decision points or approvals, you help maintain data integrity and control over how data changes are managed, particularly when there are variations introduced by custom attributes.

This additional step allows the workflow to leverage the functionality of the MDG framework, ensuring that all aspects of data governance and approval processes are adhered to. It facilitates the implementation of best practices around data handling, especially in customized scenarios where standard processing may not suffice.

Engaging in this step is pivotal for aligning the workflow with business processes that involve customizations, ensuring that stakeholders are prompted to perform necessary actions whenever a custom attribute is involved.
