  Create or modify rejection reasons as necessary.
  
  
  
  Review User Input: If the rejection reason is being populated through user input or a custom program, ensure that the logic correctly assigns a valid rejection reason before the action is executed.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and select rejection reasons.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP TM you are using, as there may be additional considerations or updates.
