Workflow on journals and month-end closure
I'm currently researching workflow on journals and while doing that I ran into an issue I would like to see if others have experienced the same and how this can be dealt with the best. (I have a SR 3-12241233071 entered).
We want more or less common users, who now ask for corrections in the GL by sending Excel-files and email requests, to enter the suggested changes as journals and have those journals in a workflow to all the involved managers and the general accounting office for approval. This part is working fine.
But as always, the pain is in the exceptions. We have a month-end closure and all the journals that are still in workflow at that time will not be posted, ever. Unless you re-edit the journal and have the setup in a way it can chenge the journal-date to a valid date (in my case first day of the open period).
