Connected by design
Financial entries should follow the business event.
Reduce isolated records by connecting source transactions to the accounting process. Each integration should be configured with appropriate posting rules, permissions and reconciliation checks.
✓Sales to finance: invoices, receipts, credit notes and customer balances.
✓Purchasing to finance: supplier bills, liabilities, payment workflows and receipt matching.
✓Inventory to finance: valuation movements and cost postings according to the approved costing policy.
✓Payroll to finance: payroll journals and related liabilities when the relevant integration is enabled.
