Is it correct to use the word "accommodate" in this sentence?
Hi friends,
Is it correct to use "accommodate" in the following sentence? Do you have any other suggestions to convey the same idea?
All requested changes have been accommodated in the report.
Thanks in advance!

It is fine.
Personally I wouldn't use that word, I'd just say more simply: All requested changes have been made in the report.

The word usage is not wrong but I don't think it is as fitting as "made" or "included". Accommodated carries with it the added nuance that you've not only included the changes but that you've also actioned them in some way.

The sentence is correct, but you might choose other words to be clearer.
It is not clear what is implied by "accomodating" a question.
You might say instead that all changes have been "addressed" or "actioned". The former indicates that all changes or change requests are replied to, and the latter implies that requested changes have been completed.

Absolutely fine.
All requested changes have been included in the report.
All requested changes have been adopted into the report.
All requested changes have been actioned in the report.

Yours is best.

For the sort of changes I get asked about, it's the best word.
In my cases, the changes tend not to be
change "big" to "large"
but more like
Can we include a reference to the larger ones?
or
Can we spend more time explaining the reasons why?
.
That is not simple explicit changes in wording, A for B, but the need to change things in a way to accomodate a request, without specifying in detail how to do that.
Hence "accomodated" would be a word of choice in my work.
.
For simple explicit changes, I'd agree with the guys below.
