3708539 - Journal Entry copied from Verify General Journal Entries app does not proceed to approval workflow - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

In the "Verify General Journal Entries - For Requester" app, when a posted journal entry is copied, it cannot be submitted. The submit function is only available when copying a journal entry that has not been posted, such as those with a status of "Submitted" or "Rejected." Customer want to know the reason.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Copy a journal entry from the verify general journal entries module.
2. Observe that the journal entry does not proceed to the approval stage, but posted directly.

The system behaves like this when users select a posted journal entry and copy it:

• If the user has the Submit authorization only, the Submit button displays in the app.
• If the user is authorized to post, the Post button displays while the Submit button is hidden.

Therefore, this is a authorization related issue.
