What information can be determined from the change request status in the rule-based workflow?

The determination of the next workflow step to execute is crucial in a rule-based workflow, particularly in the context of SAP Master Data Governance. When a change request is processed, its status provides insights into which phase of the workflow the request is currently in and what actions need to be taken next. This enables the system to systematically route the request to the appropriate step based on predefined rules, ensuring efficient progression through the workflow stages.

For instance, if the status indicates that a certain approval is needed, the system can then trigger notifications to the relevant approvers, or if the request is ready for finalization, it can move to the concluding steps of the workflow. This capability is essential for maintaining an organized and efficient flow of change requests, reducing delays and improving overall governance of master data.

In contrast, while other choices may seem relevant, they do not align with the specific information that the change request status conveys within the workflow context. The number of users involved, the duration of the workflow, and the previous change request outcome are not directly determined from the status itself but require additional data or context to assess.
