Nobody is signed in. This deployment is being read under its demo identity, which reads as a viewer and is not a person.

An approval is a name against a write, and only the CFO or the promoter may give one — the posting queue’s own policy refuses the change to anyone else. Everything above is a read and is shown in full. Sign in as yourself to approve this.

The approval is recorded on the entry itself — the approver, their role and the time — and none of the three is ever overwritten. There is no separate record of who put the entry through: the queue holds a time but no name for that act, which is worth knowing before this is pointed at real books.

The record

You may not read the audit log. Its policy admits the promoter and the CFO, and you are reading as a viewer.

This is not an empty log. Row level security filters rather than refuses, so a reader without the role is handed nothing and told nothing — which is why this screen decides from your role and not from the number of rows it got back.

An approval is recorded on the entry itself — the approver, their role and the time — and not in the audit log. Approving writes those three columns and writes no audit row, so the entry is the record of who decided and when; the log holds what else this application did to it.

What would be sent

This entry has not been approved, so no request has been built for it.

The request is built from the approved entry, because the connection it would be addressed to is chosen at approval and is null until then. A body addressed to a set of books nobody has named is a body addressed to nowhere.

Not built · unverified against the vendor specification
Putting it through

No connection is opened and no request is made. The entry is marked posted, the time is stamped, and the reference written against it says in words that nothing was sent — it is not a Zoho journal id and not a Tally voucher GUID, because inventing something that looked like one is how a demonstration becomes a figure somebody quotes to an auditor.

The entry’s identity was minted when it was drafted and is unique across the queue, so a second attempt — a double click, a reload, a retry after a timeout — addresses the same identity, finds it spent, and changes nothing. That refusal is the database’s rather than this screen’s.

This entry has not been approved.

Nothing reaches a set of books without a stored, named human approval. Approve it first, and the payload it would send is shown before anything happens.
