Here's a general approach: 1. Create a workflow that triggers on the journal record. 2. Add a state that locks the record when the journal is approved. This will prevent any changes to the record. 3. Add a condition to the "Lock Record" state that allows certain roles (those you want to have edit capabilities) to bypass the lock. This can be done by setting the condition to "User Role != Administrator, other_roles". Replace "other_roles" with the roles you want to have this capability. 4. Add a state that unlocks the record when the description or memo field is edited. This will allow the specified roles to edit these fields even when the journal is approved. Remember, this approach can potentially create issues. For example, if a journal entry that affects cash is edited after it's been reconciled, it could unapply it from the reconciliation. Similarly, if a journal entry that affects Accounts Receivable is edited after it's been applied to a transaction, it could become unapplied from the transaction. To mitigate these issues, you could add a notification to the workflow that warns users when they're editing a journal entry that affects these types of accounts. You could also add a user note to the record to document the reason for unlocking an approved posting. This can help with compliance controls.
