## Key points

- Item journals now support batch-level approval workflows matching existing general journal functionality
- Requisition and planning worksheets can require approval before converting lines to purchase orders or carrying out action messages
- Active approval requests lock down records, preventing edits, deletes, or posting until approval is completed or canceled
- Standard approval actions (Approve, Reject, Delegate, Comments) and workflow status are visible on journal and worksheet pages
- Power Automate integration enables approval routing and notifications through existing organizational flows

## Quotes

- "Before you carry out planning actions or convert requisition lines into purchase documents, the batch can go through an approval cycle." (This extends approval controls to procurement workflows, ensuring all purchase document creation is reviewed and approved.)
- "Microsoft has also updated the workflow events and responses to work with Power Automate." (Organizations can integrate these new workflows into existing Power Automate flows for centralized approval routing and notifications.)
