Current behavior:
Manual journal approval is activated on the AP Invoice journal name. An AP invoice is then posted using that journal. When the Print>Journal selection (Specification = Yes) is made, the report shows "Approved" = Yes, even though the transaction has not been processed through the manual journal approval process.

Root cause:
The Approved checkboxes do not have correlation with the journal framework's manual approval processing (the approval set up on the journal name). The behavior is that invoices, by default, have their "Approved" setting defaulted to Yes. After posting, this indicates that the invoice can be paid. If the setting is set to No at the time of posting, the invoice cannot be paid, even if the 'journal' was marked as approved.

Desired result:
The AP journal report (Print>Journal selection (Specification =Yes)) should initially show the “Approved” field as “No” when the Journal has not been approved yet.
As soon as it is approved via the manual approval process (Approval>Report as ready/Approve/Reject), it should then be shown as “Approved’ = Yes in the AP journal report
