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

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
