Journal Approval

With journal approval, the primary consideration when it comes to what a user can access is the approval hierarchy and whether the user is the authorized approver for a given transaction.

It’s less about the approver clearing the data access set and chart of accounts segment value security access for the journal batch being approved.

Note: Approval transactions can be reassigned, delegated, and so on, as per the approval rules.

There are differences in the degrees of data security enforcement in the variety of methods for accessing approval notifications and journal batch details in which a user's data access is validated. The most stringent access is where the approver interacts with the journal batch being approved in the context of the Journals page, where all the General Ledger data security elements are directly in place.

These considerations are equally relevant regardless of whether segment value security by business function is enabled.
