the journal needs to be corrected and resubmitted.

Flow.

1. Click the Approval Header Status Pending link.

The Approval Flow window displays.
 The Routing Map displays the stops in the approval workflow
and the current status.
 Accounting Checker (if applicable) reviews the journal before it
is routed to the approver.
 The Accounting Checker is optional based on project owner
workflow requirements.

2. Click the Multiple Approvers link to view the
approvers. Any of the listed people can approve thejournal.
 Budget journals are routed based on absolute value. A credit (such
as revenue) is treated the same as a debit for routing purposes.
 Workflow is based on each line of the journal, which could contain
multiple departments/projects and thus routed to different
approvers.
 The journal will not post until all lines in the journal have been
approved.

2  To check the status after approving, navigate to Commitment
Control > Budget Journals > Enter Budget Journals and search for
the journal.
 For more information about the approval process, refer to the How
do I Use Workflow job aid.
