Basic approval WF to have manager approve journal entries

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that you can create a basic approval workflow for journal entries (JE) in NetSuite using the following steps: 1. Create a custom field: You can add an accounting approval custom field (list type = employee) in the employee record and use this value to route the approval to a designated person. However, this might not work if you don't have a specific approver for each accountant. 2. Use employee's supervisor as the approver: You can use the employee's supervisor as the approver in the workflow. This might not work if you have multiple Accounting Managers that approve various JEs. 3. Use roles in your workflow: You can use roles in your workflow with the exception of the user who created the JE. This seems to be the most suitable option if you have multiple approvers. 4. Set up Accounting Preferences: Make sure to set up the Accounting Preferences > Approval Routing on JE. If the next approver value is not set, it can open up the JE to be approved by anyone with the permission. 5. Use workflow for JE approvals: It's recommended to use workflow for JE approvals as it's more flexible than SuiteApprovals. In the workflow, use the context option to determine the system-generated JE and have them auto-approved while the rest goes through your usual approval process. Remember to test your workflow thoroughly to ensure that only the intended approvers can approve the JEs. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
