Advanced Approvals added new workflow templates to allow approval for Item Journal Lines and Item Journal Batches.
Item Journal Approval Workflow
To start using Inventory-based approvals:
- Create a new Item Journal Line Approval workflow from the template.
- Enable the workflow.
- Fill out the Item Journal Line with necessary details.
- In the Actions tab, use the Request Approval action for sending an approval request for the Selected Journal Line(s).
Only one of the Item Journal Line or Batch Approval Workflows can be enabled at any one time, not both.
Managing approval requests from journal pages
New approval actions have been added, allowing you to manage approval request directly from the following journal pages:
- Item Journals
- Item Item Reclassification Journals
- Physical Inventory Journals
- Item Revaluation Journals

Understanding Approval Request Status
Each approval request status reflects a specific stage in the workflow and helps users understand where the document currently stands.
| Status | Description |

| Imposed Restriction | The request has already been sent, and the document is awaiting approval from an authorized approver. |
