Can i approve a journal entry using administrator?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Yes, a journal entry can be approved using an administrator role in NetSuite. However, it's important to note that the best practice is to use an approval workflow to manage the approval process. This is because the regular approval process doesn't lock the record, which could potentially lead to security issues. There are several scenarios you can consider for the approval process: 1. 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, as long as this designated person is someone else. 2. You can use the employee's supervisor as the approver in the workflow. 3. You can use a different SOD (Segregation of Duties) based role than the JE (Journal Entry) creator to route approval. If you have multiple Accounting Managers that approve various JEs, you can use roles in your workflow with the exception of the user who created the JE. Also, it's possible for a user to use the "make a copy" function of a journal that has been approved. However, if you're not using a workflow to control JE approval, then after approval, the JE won't be locked. Therefore, for better security, it's best to use an approval workflow. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
