Hello! I am updating a JE workflow and want the buttons to be hidden on the JE once the posting period is closed. I don't see how to set a condition based on the posting period. Any suggestions?

Create a scheduled WF that runs every 30 min. Make the saved search criteria of your WF be Accounting Period status = closed
Then have an action in your WF that marks a custom check box (period closed) = T

Then use that custom checkbox as a condition of your button action in other WF

It updates every 30 min which is not great but not bad

Also this company makes an App that will help your approval WF with many functions. One of which is validating the period status which is not supported natively
