What is the purpose of the "rejection" action in change requests?

The purpose of the "rejection" action in change requests is to deny proposed changes to maintain data accuracy. By utilizing this action, organizations can ensure that only validated and verified modifications are made to master data. This is critical because keeping master data accurate and reliable directly impacts business operations and decision-making processes.

When a change request is rejected, it reflects that the proposed modification does not meet the necessary criteria or standards set forth in the governance process, thus preventing potentially erroneous or unnecessary changes from being implemented. This mechanism is vital for maintaining the integrity of master data, which is the cornerstone for effective data management in any organization.
