Hi Expert,
I recently encountered an issue with the General Journal Batch Approval Workflow for the Approval Limit Type in the Approval Chain. When I clicked the /Request Approval/ button, a message popped up: /Only Direct Approver is supported as Approver Limit Type option for Gen. Journal Batch: PAYMENT, MBB. The approval request will be approved automatically./ Consequently, the batch automatically has the Approval Status /Approved/. Can anyone help to resolve this issue? Thank you.

Best Regards,
Wei

Workflow Only Direct Approver is supported as Approver Limit Type

Shauna is correcting regarding using approval chains in the general journal.

How do I set the batch workflow to follow the below rules using direct approver??

You need to setup 2 separate workflows. One workflow for the amount under 50,000, and a second workflow for the amount over 50,000.

Hi,

I don't believe you can use Approver Chain for journals.

I have tried it myself and get the same error as you have posted above. It does however work for specific/direct user approval.

Direct will go to the user I have setup in the approval user setup and they are administrator

Specific approver will allow me to set the user on the workflow.

I did notice the following on appsource but have no experience with it to recommend.

Hope that helps,

Shauna
