Rejected Transactions Could Not Be Reprocessed

Once rejected, purchase requests required manual recreation because existing workflows prevented transaction resubmission.

Rejected Transaction Reprocessing

Developed a custom workflow that allowed rejected purchase requests to be corrected and resubmitted without creating new records.
