Segregation of Duties

Account Reconciliations honors strict Segregation of Duties. You may not perform more than one security role on a reconciliation in a specific time period. For example, if you act as a Preparer for a reconciliation, you cannot perform any level of approval for the same reconciliation. If you approve a reconciliation at Level 1, you cannot approve at any higher level. After you change the state of a reconciliation in a given month, you cannot move that reconciliation forward in the process beyond that point.

An Approver 2 or above can unapprove a reconciliation more than once. You can always send a reconciliation back down the chain of approval as long as you have the assigned role or higher to do so. But if you have already moved it up the approval chain you cannot move it forward again.
