This function updates the case folder with the status of the approval request:
If rejected, then the workflow does not implement the recommendation. The workflow updates the case folder with the rejection reason, comments, and the person who rejected the recommendation. The workflow also updates the status of the case folder to Closed.
If approved, then the workflow automatically implements the recommendation and updates the case folder.
The workflow also sends notifications to interested parties when a recommendation is approved or rejected. For example, the workflow can send an appropriate notification to the requestor of the original credit application, if possible.
The workflow successfully ends at Node 3.
