Approval Assignees and Comments Displayed in the Journal Action Log

Review the approver comments in the Journal Action Log to monitor the life cycle of journal approvals. This enables authorized users to take action, when required, on pending close tasks. After the user applies any closing action (Approval, Rejection, Expiration, Withdraw), the records corresponding to the “assigned to” action are removed from the respective journal batch.

Business benefits include:

• Viewing the list of approvers for a journal batch enhances transparency and helps users identify the responsible approver.

• Accessible comments on the journal UI provide users with clear insights into the reasons behind approval, rejection, or other journal actions, enhancing better understanding.

• The combination of displaying approver names and making comments accessible directly on the journal UI streamlines the approval process, hence saving time and effort.
