E1 Batch Approval Post Confusion

Read Time:0 Sec

There is one very simple EnterpriseOne process that confuses me every stinking time I’m asked to configure it. It’s setting up Batch Approval Post authority.

My first frustration is that I think that this is NOT an IT function. The business process owners know who should be able to approve who’s batches and it doesn’t have anything to do with the E1 security system.

Ok, I’m done with that. Now, on to the second fru

  1. Hi Sir,this is really very useful tips for everyone, be it implementer or user.

    However I got a question here. On p00241 there are 4 selections, GL, AP, AR, BATCH REVIEW. just dont understand what is the difference between GL and Bath review?

    1. From the Oracle documentation:

      1 – G/L Batch Security, A/P Batch Security, and A/R Batch Security
      Select the corresponding check box to activate batch security editing in the EnterpriseOne General Accounting, EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable, or EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable system. The system performs this editing when you approve and post batches for a particular system. After you activate batch security editing, you must set up authority for secured users and approved users.

      2 – Batch Review Security
      Select this check box to restrict unauthorized users from viewing batches other than their own using the General Journal Review program (P0011).

    1. Hey, Patrick. You should be able to get that info by following steps 1-4 under the “Add a batch creator to the list that an approver can approve” section:

      1. Fastpath to P00241 (Batch Approval/Post Security Constants)
      2. Select the Form Exit “Approved by Users”
      3. Use the QBE to search for the approver
      4. Select the approver

      I hope that helps.

  2. Stewart – Is there a place to configure this approval, I am looking at

    1. Only for certain batch types in AP?
    2. If we have a custom batch types, how to include that in AP security?
