activate journal entry approvals

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To activate Journal Entry approvals in NetSuite, you need to follow these steps: 1. Navigate to Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences. 2. Under the General Ledger section, you will find an option called 'Require Approval on Journal Entries'. Check this box to activate Journal Entry approvals. Once this is done, Journal Entries will require approval before they can be posted. If you are facing issues where users who are not supposed to approve Journal Entries are able to do so, you might need to check the 'next approver' value in your workflow. If it's not set, it can potentially allow anyone with the permission to approve Journal Entries. In case you don't have a specific approver for each accountant, but instead have multiple Accounting Managers that approve various Journal Entries, you can use roles in your workflow with the exception of the user who created the Journal Entry. This way, if one Accounting Manager is out, another one can step in to approve that person's Journal Entries. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
