Batch Approval and Psoting Security

[Soul Glo]

We are setting up batch approval and posting for General Accounting, however my GL team only want this security to be applied to "G" batch types, we looked at the application code and discovered that for A/P and A/R Oracle has hardcoded the batch types, however to G/L they left it open to all other batch types. Has anyone setup this up on the GL side so that only "G" batch types are affected?

We looked at this and came across similar issues. In our testing we discovered that some batches (Type N, 0, NC, 0)still went to an Approved Status, so bypassed the approval part but still had to be posted by an authorized user. What we are doing to get round this is set up a sleeper job to post these batches and make the sleeper user (REPORTING) an authorised posting user.
This way we reduced it to just Fixed Assets, Allocations and G type batches that got caught.
Hope this helps some.

Have you looked at the GL Advanced and Technical menu. There you have 'Batch Approval Post and Security constant' -P00241. This will allow you to setup security only on GL Batches.

This will require you to setup who approves for Whom.
Like User-1 is approver for UserA,UserB,UserC etc.
The Batches Created by UserA, will only be visible to User-1.
