approval status at item level

Hi,

I need to know whether the shopping cart item is rejected or not.(need to know the approval status at item level) and then make the rejection reason as mandatory.

I tried to get the value of the flag DEDUCT_IND from each item,but it is never set to 'X' eventhough I reject an item.could anybody please tell me when this flag will be changed or is there any other way to find the approval status at item level.

Regards,

Rohini
