Updated Workflow Transaction with Workflow Rules Report

There is a unified dashboard called the Workflow Transaction Console that is utilized to oversee and address workflow tasks for various transactions such as Invoice, Expenses, and Journal Approval processes. This console serves as a proactive tool for tracking and resolving any workflow-related errors. Several financial workflows are provided as illustrative examples.

  • Invoice Approval
  • Expense Approval
  • Journal Approval
  • Invoice Hold Resolution

When this feature is turned on, even when a transaction’s approval request is denied, users will still be able to observe the following transaction statuses.

The following status is shown for transactions where the approval procedure was unsuccessful if the feature is disabled.
