For each action, action reasons can be defined. Action reasons determine the reason why a certain action/process was performed (reason for data change). Action reasons within are also, similar to actions, mapped from global values to global IBM values. Action reasons are global data with a 2 character length reason code and 30 character field for reason text.
The list below shows per action the predefined set of action reasons.
