Approval Inserts A Step Into An Adjustment's Lifecycle
The Lifecycle Of An Adjustment explains how an adjustment is transitioned from the Freezable state to the Frozen state when it should impact the general ledger and the customer's balance. If an adjustment's adjustment type references an approval profile, the user cannot freeze the adjustment directly. Rather, the user must submit the adjustment for approval when it's ready and only when the last applicable approver approves the adjustment will it become Frozen.
Freeze during bill completion. You can configure the system to only freeze certain types of adjustments when the next bill is completed for the adjustment's account. When the last approver approves such adjustments, they remain in the Freezable. When the next bill is completed for the account, these adjustment become Frozen. Such adjustments that have not been approved at the time of bill completion will remain in the Freezable state.
