GP Workflow - restricting Financial Batches

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 203

Hello

I'm working with a customer on their Financial Batch workflow.  They would like to require approval only on general journal entry batches and exclude batches created from subledger modules (like Sales and Purchasing).  We've put in Conditions to exclude if Batch ID contains PMTRX, RMSLS, etc. however it seems a user could name a financial batch PMTRX and get around the approval process.

Is there a condition or option to require approval for batches created in Financial Series?  I saw the Origin field listed in the conditions however I wasn't sure how to link it in the Conditions.

Best Regards - Ron A

    Hi Ron,

    The quick answer would be to change the posting setup to post 'Through' from sub modules so that batches from those other modules don't stop at the GL to require approval.  If that's not possible or their business process doesn't allow that, then you would have to add an extra join to your workflow to the GL10000 table so that you can use the SOURCDOC field to determine whether the Journal Entry lines in the batch originated from a different module or not.  

    select SOURCDOC,* from GL10000 --GJ would be General Journals

    By default the GL10000 is not a table that you can create conditions on, but we have a tool that allows for enhanced workflow condition editing where you could join the SY00500 to the GL10000 to make workflow condition based on the SOURCDOC field.

    Physical Name Display Name Technical Name
    GL10000 Transaction Work GL_TRX_HDR_WORK

    Below is an article with more information and the DEX.ini switch that enables this.  I would recommend trying it in a test company with a copy of live first, then repeat the process once fully tested.  The custom joins for workflow are made per company database.

    I hope this helps!
