Environments with frequently changing exchange rates need adjustments to account balances in one or more currencies. This is achieved by entering amounts for specific currencies directly in the app – Post currency adjustments. Many a times users would want an authorized person to review the currency adjustments before posting. With 2005 release, there is a new app Verify Currency Adjustments - For Requester to submit a request for verifying the currency adjustments.


The Verification workflow for currency adjustments involves the following apps:



  • Verify Currency Adjustments - For Requester

  • Verify Journal Entries in General Ledger - For Processor (Inbox)

  • Verify Journal Entries in General Ledger - For Processor (Outbox)

  • Manage Workflows for Journal Entry Verification - In General Ledger

  • Manage Teams and Responsibilities for Journal Entry Verification - In General Ledger


  • In this blog I would take you through a simple end to end process for the requester from the creation of the workflow till the notification of currency adjustments posting.
