# Approve master record

You can approve the master data records that you have edited.

For the master data entity, a validation can be defined. A validation is applied when you approve master data. If the master data is invalid, the master data is not approved.

### Example

A validation rule with the **BisMdmValidationCustomerBankAccount** class is active for the master data entity.

You try to approve a customer master data record which bank account is not defined. As a result, the customer master data record is not approved. So, you cannot release this customer master data record till you define its bank account.

### Steps

1. Click **Master data management - Operation**.
2. Click the **Master data** tab.
3. In the list, find and select the record that you want to approve.
4. Click **Status**.
5. Click **Approve**.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> You can also **Approve** a master record directly from a D365 F&SCM record page (**Action pane** > **Master data management** tab). You can only do this if the [dynamics menu form setup](/data-management/docs/set-up-dynamic-menu-form-setup-for-master-data-entity) is defined for the relevant master data entity.
