Customizable: Verify Authority Process
This process verifies an approver's authority to approve journal batches. If your organization has unique needs for verifying approver authority, you can customize the process.
The process has a result type of GL Pass or Fail Result Type that gives one of two results:
- Pass: The approver is authorized to approve the journal batch.
- Fail: The approver is not authorized to approve the journal batch.
The process consists of 3 unique activities, some of which are reused, to comprise the 4 activity nodes that appear in the workflow diagram:
Start (Node 1)
This is a Standard function activity that simply marks the start of the process.
| Function
| WF_STANDARD.NOOP
|
| Result Type
| None
|
Customizable: Verify Authority (Node 2)
Customize this function activity as needed to meet your organization's needs. If the approver is authorized to approve the journal batch, the procedure returns a value of 'Pass'. If not, the procedure returns a value of 'Fail'.
| Function
| GL_WF_CUSTOMIZATION_PKG.
VERIFY_AUTHORITY
|
| Result Type
| GL Pass or Fail Result Type
|
End (Nodes 3 through 4)
This function activity marks the end of the process. Although the activity itself does not have a result type, each node of this activity in the process must have a process result assigned to it. The process result is assigned in the property page of the activity node. Since the Customizable: Verify Authority process activity has a result type of GL Pass or Fail Result Type, each End activity node must have a process result matching one of the lookup codes in the GL Pass or Fail Result Type lookup type.
| Function
| WF_STANDARD.NOOP
|
| Result Type
| None
