In Workday, the Review Step within a business process is specifically designed to enable a user to review, edit, and approve information that was submitted by the initiator. This step allows designated participants to view the transaction details, make permissible edits, and approve or send it back for correction. It serves as an intermediate checkpoint before final approval or completion, ensuring data accuracy and compliance with policy.
By contrast, the Approval Step (Option C) only permits approval or denial — it does not allow data modification. The Consolidated Approval Step (Option B) groups multiple approval steps for simplification but also lacks edit functionality. The Integration Step (Option D) is used for system integrations and automated data transfers, not for user data review.
Thus, the Review Step uniquely provides both review and edit capabilities, which makes it ideal for validating and refining information early in the process lifecycle.
