We've set up an approval workflow for checks. Is there a way to set a "Pending Approval" check to be non-posting until approved?

Hi Mars, I'd asked this question last week and sadly there doesn't appear to be an easy solution to this. If you come up with one I'd be interested!

If you haven't already looked at this, you might consider creating a custom (non-posting) record with the desired fields and then do the approvals on that custom record with the end of that approval process creating a real check transaction. Definitely a bit more complicated, but could work if you're 100% committed to using the check transaction. Easier alternative might be to do these as Journal Entries and just have a custom field or something to segregate out the different types of JEs and approval paths, if needed.

I certainly need to use the check transaction for my solution. Can I automate the creation of a real check transaction at the end of the approval?

Wonder if GL plugin would work here and just back out the GL until approved

@BullgillRunner Yes, you could automate the creation, but it would require a little bit of scripting.
