ASSIGN JOURNAL ENTRY APPROVERS TO USERS

If your firm's accounting operations policies include segregation of duties, perhaps to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or your firm has otherwise decided to require that journal entries be approved, you can set up an internal process for approving journal entries. Use this screen to set up the employees who are granted rights to approve journal entries entered by data entry staff.

Before filling out this screen, click the Approval Settings link on the Configure General Ledger Settings screen to open the Approval Settings subtask and establish approval settings.
