Based on your selection, the report displays a list of requests for unblocking with the relevant data. You can then enter the reason for approving or rejecting a request.

If the requested master data cannot be unblocked, an entry is written in the log. The request to unblock is not changed. If the unblocking is approved, the table Customer/Vendors Unblocking Requests (CVP_UNBLK_REQST) is updated with status of the request as approved.
