    Hello Abdulrahman ,

    Create a custom  duty and remove privilege " Post general journal entries".

    so User can create General Journal normally but cannot post it.

    Hi Ludwig thanks for your reply. I met the same scenario. According to your reply, I can use the work flow to indirectly control the co-workers to post the journal the other co-workers create, right?

    Hi Adulrahman,

    If you want to restrict persons from posting the journals, you need to create a new custom duty which will have the privilege for maintaining journals in it, but not the posting privileges. You can copy the existing duty 'Maintain journals and transactions' and change the copy to meet your requirements.

    Hi,

    What about using GL journal workflows that allow only certain people approving and posting?

    Would that be an option?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi,

    If you setup and link a group to the journal blocking feature then you can prevent people that do not belong to this group from creating this journal. Please see the following screenprint:

    Isn't this what you want?

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    I believe that this is possible with the help of journal restrictions.

    Please see the following article for an example:

    Hi,

    You need to check the menuitems for each posting buttons.

    Then you need to see which roles give access to the menuitems by right click on the menuitem >> Add-Ins >> Security tools >> View security related roles.

    After that you need to remove those roles from your users.
