Step 8: Raise a request to revoke the Award.
Nominators or approvers can request awards for revoking. If there are multiple approvers, the final approver can ask the previous approver to complete the approval process.
Step 9: Notification and Points
Once the nomination is approved, the system notifies the nominator, nominee, and the relevant users of the nominee, and the reward points will be added to the nominee's account.
If the nomination is rejected, the system notifies the Nominator.
If the award is revoked, then the Nominee and Nominator will be notified.
