Approval Conditions in Journal Approval Rule Templates

For the journal approval workflow, approval conditions define the criteria that a journal batch is evaluated against. The approval conditions are defined using the attributes available in the drop-down list of each attribute category.

There are three default attribute categories: Journal Batch, Journal Header, Journal Line.

You can use the predefined approval conditions in the sample rule templates, or you can modify the conditions to meet your company approval policy requirements.

In addition to the attribute categories displayed in the rule templates, you can add more attribute categories by selecting the drop-down list after the last displayed attribute category.

Here's the list of attribute categories that you can use to define your approval conditions:

• Journal Batch Approval Requester

• Journal Batch Creator

• Journal Batch Ledger

• Journal Batch Source

• Journal Category

• Journal Calendar

• Journal Header

• Journal Line

• Maximum Amount Journal

Each attribute category has its own set of attributes that you can select from.
