We cannot turn on the approval routing for journal entry due to some old corrupt records, is it possible to create an journal approval process without turning on the approval routing for journals?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that you can create a custom approval process for journal entries without turning on the approval routing for journals. However, it's important to note that the behavior of the approval process will be different. When the approval routing is turned off, the approval is based on if the user has the permission of "approve journals". Any user with that permission can approve a Journal Entry. On the other hand, when approval routing is turned on, it enables a few fields, one of them being "approval status" and "next approver" which allows you to either create a workflow to set these fields or it follows out of the box approval which follows manager hierarchy. In this case, the user must meet a condition to approve the Journal Entry (via native hierarchy or conditions set in a workflow). So, if you have corrupt records that prevent you from turning on the approval routing, you can still create a custom approval process. However, you will need to manage the permissions carefully to ensure that only the appropriate users can approve the 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. ******
