Approval Settings Subtask

If your firm's accounting operations policies include segregation of duties, to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or otherwise separate users who create journal entries from those who approve them, use this subtask of the Configure General Ledger Settings screen to set up requirements for journal entry approval. You can specify which journal entry types require approval and a transaction amount limit, if any, above which the approval requirement applies for each type.

Contents
