Workflow Comments from Edit Journals

Submit workflow comments when approving or rejecting journal entries from either the Edit Journals page or the Approval Dashboard page.

On the Edit Journals page, use the Approve or Reject button in the journal batch section, or on the Approval Dashboard page, use the Approve or Reject button in the action bar to submit these comments.

Business benefits include:

• Enhanced Accountability: Approvers can provide clear reasoning and justification for their actions.
• Increased Efficiency: Comments can be added directly within the edit journals UI, eliminating the need to switch to email or BPM workflow for approval.
