In Workday, theReview Stepwithin a business process is specifically designed to enable a user toreview, edit, and approveinformation 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, theApproval Step(Option C) only permits approval or denial — it does not allow data modification. TheConsolidated Approval Step(Option B) groups multiple approval steps for simplification but also lacks edit functionality. TheIntegration Step(Option D) is used for system integrations and automated data transfers, not for user data review.
Thus, theReview Stepuniquely provides both review and edit capabilities, which makes it ideal for validating and refining information early in the process lifecycle.
