  Change Status: If applicable, change the applicant's status to one that is eligible for rejection (e.g., "Not Selected" or similar) and then attempt to reject the applicant again.
  Review Configuration: Consult with your SAP HR or recruitment module administrator to review the configuration settings related to applicant statuses and rejection processes. Ensure that the workflow allows for the rejection of applicants in various statuses.
