Group Reporting - Need help to configure Group Journal Entry approver workflow on premise

[tanja_gliege]

Hi,

We recently upgraded to release 2309 and would like to use the new approver workflow functionality for group Reporting journals on premise. We would like to use Consolidation document type as a custom responsibility definition, but I cannot find any documentation on how to do that. It seem we also need to configure a team type and a team category. Any help or inside on how to do this is greatly appreciated.

Hi, there are couple of configuration steps you need to complete in order to enable the manage workflow process.

You need to create teams and assign functions. All business users who should be assigned as approver or team member needs to be added into the created team from app 'Manage Team and responsibilities'.

The team category is: PGJE_T

The workflow scenarios for manage workflow for group journal entries is: 78500095.

Once the workflow process is enabled correctly, you would be able to create workflow by setting up the condition with document type in Journal entry:

If you need further assistance, you can create a SAP incident or reach to your TQM for MaxAttention service.

Thanks Dana_Pu, I managed to set up the workflow now, but the workflow item is not reaching the Group Journal approval inbox of the team member. Does the Group Journal Approver need a specific role assigned to receive the workflow item? If yes, what is it called?

You can define the name of role yourself. There could be different root causes if it didn't arrive to your app 'My Inbox'. 

Open an incident with SAP to get help.
