Supplier Master Data approval was on the roadmap for 1908. Is that pushed back now?
The supplier approval for newly created suppliers can be activated via BC Scoping:
Scoping question: General Business Data > General Business Data > Handling of Business Partners > Do you want to set up the approval process for suppliers?
You find a description in the supplier approval in the ByD Help Center > “Suppliers Quick Guide”.
The supplier approval for supplier changes (originally planned for 1908) has been dropped due to other development topics with higher priority. There is no new planned release available so far.
Kristof,
Thanks for responding.

It doesn’t look work (customer test tenant with 1908 upgrade)

I will have a look into it and come back to you.

Hello Giancarmelo,
the reason behind is that the supply task most probably does have the same execution start date/time than the make task. If the supply task had a fixed duration, then the sequencing follows the execution start date/times of the task.
Development is checking it and trying to solve this with the next release.
Best regards,
Iris
