AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
The document Status and Approval Status fields on a Journal Entry in NetSuite are controlled by the Approval Routing feature. If you have enabled Approval Routing for journal entries, you can control the Next Approver and Approval Status fields via a workflow. When importing journals, even if you turn off the Run Server Scripts, the Journal is still imported with Pending Approval Status. This is because the Approval Routing feature is enabled. If you want to import journals with an approved status, you need to manage the form on import and show the Approved checkbox. If you want to set a Journal Entry status to rejected via workflow, you need to have the Approval Routing for journal entries enabled. If you uncheck the REQUIRE APPROVALS ON JOURNAL ENTRIES, the status will be blank. For strict Journal Entry Approval Routing, where an employee creates and submits a Journal Entry and it is routed to another employee for approval, you can use either SuiteFlow or SuiteScript. If the approver does not need to create/edit any JEs, you can set their access at View only and then Run the Workflow as Admin for the edits they're making. If they do need to create/edit JEs, you can lock the record based on the viewer=approver. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
