Symptom
- The last modified by isn't updating consistently for MDF objects
Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental
Environment
- BizX
Cause
-
If there is no approval process, no workflow to trigger after a change, it will be the initiator who will appear as the user in the last modified by
-
If there is a workflow, before the workflow is approved, it will show the initiator’s name
-
After the approval process, it will be the final approver who will appear as having made the change
Resolution
- For MDF objects, the last modified by will always have the initiator details unless, any of the approver has the option to “Edit” during the process.
- If the approver has the option to “Edit” during the process, the last modified by will show the approver’s name who edited the object.
- This is an expected behavior in MDF
