# Pending Reason

The Analysts need to specify a Pending Reason for changing the status of a Problem Record (PR) to *Pending*. The *Pending* status indicates that additional information or response is required from the RCA Reviewer for further investigation of the PR. You can define the Pending Reasons for the Tenant based on the organization’s requirements.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> An Analyst can select PR **Status** as *Pending* only when PR Status is *RCA Reviewed*. The SLA is paused when the Analyst selects the PR **Status** as *Pending*.
