Reason

Whenever an action is taken on an item within SAP Fieldglass, such as closing a document or rejecting an item submitted for approval, a Reason must be selected.

Reasons are created and maintained to allow companies to provide acceptable justification for taking specific actions on records and documents. They provide consistency in reporting and allow you to analyze data more effectively.

A reason must be selected when closing a job posting so that the justifications for the action can be logged and tracked.
