We’re exploring the introduction of a General Journal Approval workflow to enhance control and oversight in the journal entry process. This potential feature would integrate general journal transactions into the existing workflow approval engine, enabling finance teams to route journals through predefined approval paths before posting. Configurable rules - based on value thresholds, GL or Dimensions - would ensure that all general journals are properly reviewed and authorised. By bringing structured approvals to general ledger adjustments, this feature would strengthen financial governance, improve auditability, and align with the controls already in place for AP and purchasing processes.
Our school is extremely frustrated by the noticeable lack of progress on feature requests within this portal. Many highly requested enhancements have remained unaddressed for years, despite ongoing demand from users. This prolonged lack of development has led to growing dissatisfaction and concerns about whether customer feedback is being adequately considered in the product roadmap.
If other users share these concerns and would be interested in establishing an independent forum to discuss common issues, priorities, and collective engagement with the provider, please feel free to contact me directly at d.moss@hamptonschool.org.uk.
I am assuming this would be optional so that if we are OK processing journals as we are, without approval, we could still do so unhindered?
