Setting Up Journal Approval
Use General Ledger's Journal Approval feature to ensure that journal entries and
batches are approved by appropriate management personnel before the journals can be
posted to your account balances.
Journal Approval uses Oracle Workflow to control and monitor the approval process,
sending notifications to journal batch preparers and approvers when needed. Some of
the Journal Approval components can be customized to meet your organization's
specific needs.
Before you use Journal Approval, you must enable journal approval for your ledgers.
You must also set up your journal sources to use journal approval. Finally, you must
Create an approval hierarchy and define your approver authorization limits.
