Approve Journal Entries

If your firm's accounting operations policies include segregation of duties, perhaps to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002—or if your firm otherwise requires that journal entries be approved—the authorized approvers in your firm use the Approve Journal Entries screen to review journal entries awaiting approval and either approve or reject them.

Settings on the Approval Settings subtask of the Configure General Ledger Settings screen determine whether or not you are required to approve journal entries.

If your firm does not require approval of journal entries and you try to display this screen, Costpoint displays an error message.

You can use this screen to approve journal entries only if you are listed as an authorized journal entry approver on the Assign Journal Entry Approvers to Users screen. If you are not an authorized journal entry approver, you can display this screen but you cannot approve journal entries.
