Creating action reasons

Action reasons are used for certain actions taken by a user, such as rejecting, starting, voiding, or reopening a close task and rejecting or reopening a reconciliation. If your Finance Group is setup to require reason codes for any of these actions, set up those corresponding reason codes here. The codes are then used in the selection and validation of the reason code when the action occurs.

Action Subject

Start Task Late StartTaskLate

Reopen Task ReopenTask
Close Task Late CloseTaskLate
Reject Reconciliation RejectReconciliation
