is there a way to have voided journal entries post with a journal entry approval workflow

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Based on the conversations, it appears that voided journal entries (JE) are system-generated and are not designed to be included in the approval workflow. However, there are some workarounds suggested in the threads. One suggestion is to use a condition based on user creation, specifically where
{createdby.id} = -4
, as
-4
represents the system user. This would mean that all subtypes are subject to the approval workflow, so you would need to exclude in the condition all the records that you don’t want the approval workflow to apply to. Another suggestion is to create an after record submit transition in the workflow, using the condition of Status = Voided. This transition would take you to a state where you set the approval status to approved or whatever status you want it to be. However, it's important to note that the 'Voided' status is part of the native Status field, not the Approval Status field. Therefore, you should use the Status field in your condition. Lastly, it was mentioned that when you save a voiding JE, it changes the approval status to Approved, even if the workflow is pushing it to be pending approval. One way to resolve this is to reject the JE if it has not posted, as there is nothing to void. Then, enter (approve) the transaction and void it. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
