Techniques are described herein for handling transactions where only a portion of submitted changes are committed. In some embodiments, a system receives, through a page of a user interface, a request to submit a plurality of changes to a set of data objects. The system identifies, based on the page of the user interface through which the request was submitted, a first subset of one or more changes that require further review and a second subset of one or more changes that do not require further review before being committed to the database. The first subset of one or more changes are cached for further review, and a respective approval transaction may be initiated. A commit transaction may be initiated directly for the second set of one or more changes to commit the changes to the database without further review.
