Purchase Approver field or supervisor field? which one for journal entries approval?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that both the Purchase Approver field and the Supervisor field can be used for journal entries approval, but the choice depends on the specific requirements and setup of your organization. If you have a specific approver for each accountant, you can add an accounting approval custom field (list type = employee) in the employee record and use this value to route the approval to the designated person. This is similar to using the Purchase Approver field. If you don't have a specific approver for each accountant, but instead have multiple Accounting Managers that approve various journal entries depending on which area it falls under during the month-end close, you can use the employee's supervisor as the approver in the workflow. This is similar to using the Supervisor field. However, if you have a more complex approval workflow, you might want to consider using custom fields to store the individual approvers per approval level. This allows you to hop on to multiple joins - supervisor of the supervisor of the supervisor, etc. In this case, you don't necessarily need to use the Next Approver field, but you can rely on the values in the custom fields. In any case, it's recommended to use approval workflows to drive the approval process. This can help ensure compliance and make the approval process more efficient. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
