Hi,

If i am correct, your first requirement is to upload multiple records into MDM simultaneously and have validations run on all the records, successful records need to be moved to other(approval) workflow for approval process and failed records need to be distinguished.

This can be achieved by triggering the workflow through Import Manager.

Check out this thread -> http://scn.sap.com/thread/3152135

In the workflow you need to split the record based on the required validations

Once the workflow in triggered, you can create set of validations in Data Manager and assigned them to Record Create group.

Now this Record Create Group is used in Branch Step to split the record.

In the below sample workflow, after branch step two new job ids are created one with failed record and one with successful records.

Now for successful records new workflow(Approval W/F) can be triggered.

In order to achieve your second requirement, you need to create a new role in MDM via console and in function you need to change the following functions as none.

1. Check out records

2. Check out new records

Now, if user assigned with this role changes master data, record will not be checked out.
