Approving Journal Entry throws Notice: The 'G/L' impact of a voided transaction cannot be changed

The error Notice: The 'G/L' impact of a voided transaction cannot be changed is thrown when approving:
 
- A Journal Entry with Pending Approval Status was Voided.
- A Reversing Journal Entries whose Originating Journal Entry was voided before it was approved.

To resolve
1. Navigate to Transactions>Financial>Approve Journal Entries.
2. Select the Journal Entry to approve.
3. Click Save.

Note: This is similar to Enhancement request 171144 - Transactions > Financials > Make Journal Entry > Voiding Journal is auto-approved even when Require Approval on JE = T.

A Journal Entry with Pending Approval Status is a non-posted transaction. If we approve the Journal Entry the system will post the amounts to the General Ledger.

Once a Journal Entry with Pending Approval Status is voided. By design, we cannot post a General Ledger transaction when it is already voided to begin with. The system will throw  Notice: The 'G/L' impact of a voided transaction cannot be changed.
