General Ledger / Journal posting Approval Workflow

Fri Feb 8 10:49:14 EST 2013

rant on

isn't it the idea of the accrual that it will eventually reverse (inverse)?

parking is for pending approvals that will not reverse unless corrected
and has a very well documented transaction and workflow infrastructure.

sometimes, users want to automate something that really shouldn't be.
