How do you approve a transaction from the transaction list?

To approve a transaction from the transaction list, the proper action is to select the transaction check box and click Approve. This method is a direct and efficient way to initiate the approval process within the transaction management system. The action denotes to the system that you have reviewed and accepted the transaction as valid, enabling it to move to the next stage in the workflow.

This process ensures that only transactions that have been confirmed by an authorized user are marked as approved, maintaining oversight and security within the financial operations. Additionally, this option streamlines the workflow, allowing users to manage multiple transactions quickly by simply checking the appropriate boxes and clicking the approve button.

The other choices involve actions that do not pertain to the process of approving transactions. For instance, changing the transaction status to Completed may imply that a transaction is finished but does not inherently denote approval. Contacting the cardholder for verification is a step that might be necessary in certain scenarios but is not a standard method for transaction approval. Similarly, deleting the transaction would negate it entirely and not serve the purpose of approval, which is to affirm the legitimacy of a transaction rather than eliminate it.
