What is the iscustomapproval field on Journal Entries for?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The

iscustomapproval

field on Journal Entries in NetSuite is used when there is a custom approval workflow in place for journal entries. This field is typically used in conjunction with SuiteApprovals, NetSuite's built-in approval management system. When the

iscustomapproval

field is set to true, it indicates that the journal entry is subject to a custom approval process, rather than the standard approval process. This custom approval process can be defined using SuiteFlow, NetSuite's workflow management tool, and can include conditions based on various factors such as the value of a custom field, the role of the user creating the journal entry, or other business-specific criteria. For example, you could set up a workflow that automatically approves journal entries if they are created with a certain CSV context, or if they meet certain criteria defined in a saved search. Alternatively, you could set up a workflow that routes journal entries to a specific approver or group of approvers based on the value of a custom field or the role of the user creating the journal entry. Please note that the

iscustomapproval

field is not visible in the CSV mapping page when importing journal entries. This is because the approval status of a journal entry is determined by the approval workflow, not by the data in the CSV file. If you want to import journal entries with an approved status, you would need to adjust your approval workflow to automatically approve journal entries created with a CSV context. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
