Accounting

General ledger, payables, receivables, assets, and cash — the enterprise book of record.

7 groups · 45 sections · 288 screens

Ledger

The book of record, the books beside it, what stands on them, and the group’s companies added up.

General Ledger

5

The book of record and the calendar that governs it.

Ledgers & Principles

6

One book per set of rules, the rates they translate at, and the same account under every principle side by side.

Assets

6

Capitalized assets, their depreciation, and who is holding each of them.

Asset Accounting

7

The register, and the four books that value it differently. Acquisition, transfer, revaluation, impairment, retirement and disposal are movements, not columns.

Capital Planning

3

What the depreciation charge becomes over five years, and what it becomes if we do X.

Intercompany

3

Two of our companies traded with each other: raise both sides together, agree them before the close, and mark them so the group can take them out.

Consolidation

7

Adding the companies up is not SUM(): translate, eliminate, take the minority’s share, and keep the arithmetic.

Working Capital

What is owed either way, what people spend on the company’s behalf, and the cash that settles it.

Payables & Receivables

6

Supplier invoices in, customer invoices out, and the cash that settles them.

Card Payments

3

Customers’ cards on file, the recurring charges they agreed to, and the batches sent to the bank.

Travel & Expense

8

What was actually booked, the receipt behind each line, the card charge that already paid it, and the ones worth auditing. The trip is requested and the claim raised in Supply Chain.

RecordsExpense ClaimsThe same claims Supply Chain lists, read as finance reads them: what was spent, what the card already paid, what an advance covered, what is owed — and which ones are worth auditing.OpenRecordsExpense LinesA line that needed a receipt and has none is the commonest reason a claim is queried, so the board says so on the face of it.OpenRecordsReceiptsA receipt arrives before the claim — photographed at the restaurant. What was read off it is kept apart from what was typed so a mismatch is visible, and the image fingerprint is the cheapest duplicate check there is.OpenRecordsTravel BookingsWhat was actually booked, against the lowest compliant fare — the only honest measure of travel policy savings, and one almost nobody records.OpenRecordsCard TransactionsAn unmatched card charge is not an outstanding claim — it is money gone with no explanation, and on a corporate-liability card the company has already paid it.OpenRecordsExpense TypesWhat may be claimed, what evidence it needs, and whether the tax on it is recoverable at all. Entertainment usually is not, and reclaiming it is an assessment waiting to happen.OpenRecordsMileage RatesTiered, because 45p for the first 10,000 miles and 25p after is the normal case in several countries — and applying the headline rate to everything overpays. Per diem rates live with the rest of Travel & Expense, in Supply Chain.OpenViewTravel SpendCut the way a travel manager negotiates: by supplier, by route, by cabin class, with the savings against the lowest compliant fare.Open

Bank Connectivity

4

Who can be connected: the institution catalog, the aggregator subscription, and the registrations behind them.

Banks & Accounts

3

The banks this company has actually connected, and the accounts each connection reaches.

Cash Movement

5

What has moved, the statements it arrived on, the rules that account for it, and what is going out.

Bank Monitoring

4

Where the cash is, whether the feeds are still healthy, and what every sync actually did.

Treasury

14

How much have we got, how much will we have, what is pooled where, and what is due to the banks.

WorkspaceTreasury BoardHow much have we got today, how much will we have, and what is due to the banks — the three questions a treasurer opens with, on one screen.OpenViewDaily Cash PositionsThe daily snapshot. Kept rather than computed on demand: re-deriving yesterday’s position from today’s transactions gives a different answer once a back-dated correction lands.OpenViewCash ForecastReceivables at their EXPECTED date, payables at the chosen one, payroll, tax and debt service. Versioned, because accuracy cannot be measured without keeping the forecasts that were wrong.OpenRecordsCash Forecast LinesConfidence is the difference between a forecast and a wish: a receivable from a customer who has never paid late is 95%, a sale that has not been signed is 30%.OpenRecordsLiquidity CategoriesA treasurer’s categories are operational — customer receipts, supplier payments, payroll, tax, debt service, capex — and one GL account can feed several of them.OpenRecordsCash PoolsMoney in eleven accounts earns nothing while an overdraft in the twelfth costs eight per cent. Physical pooling moves the money and creates real intercompany loans; notional pooling only nets the interest.OpenRecordsPool ParticipantsSweeping to zero is not always right: a payroll account needs a float, which is what the target balance is for.OpenViewPool SweepsWhat moved, and the intercompany position it left behind — the thing an auditor will want reconciled to the counterparty.OpenRecordsDebt & InstrumentsLoans, facilities, deposits and derivatives. A facility’s undrawn headroom is the most important liquidity figure a company has and lives nowhere in an ordinary ledger.OpenViewDebt Service ScheduleThe largest and most certain line on a cash forecast, and the part most often kept in a spreadsheet on the treasurer’s laptop.OpenRecordsDebt CovenantsA promise to a lender, tested quarterly. Breaching one makes the whole facility immediately repayable — testing it before the bank does is the entire reason to hold it here.OpenRecordsCovenant TestsHeadroom in the direction that matters: how much worse it could get before it breaches.OpenViewDebt MaturityWhat matures in each band — the refinancing risk picture, and the classification a balance sheet needs.OpenRecordsGuarantees & Letters of CreditNot on the balance sheet and absolutely on the risk register: a performance bond that expires unrenewed loses the contract it secured.Open

Revenue & Projects

When revenue is earned, what a lease and a building are worth, what the work costs, and where the money is actually made.

Revenue Recognition

8

Invoicing and revenue are not the same event. Five steps, the schedule they produce, and the deferred revenue that falls out of it.

Lease Accounting

7

On the balance sheet under IFRS 16 and ASC 842 — which give different answers for the same lease, and a group reporting both needs both.

Real Estate

3

The other side of the same contract: the buildings, what is let, and what the service charge actually settles at.

Projects & Portfolios

12

A plan and a cost collector at once, from the investment envelope down to the work package the money lands on.

WorkspaceProject PlanThe work breakdown, the network, the money and the critical path — drawn, because a project is a shape before it is a table.OpenRecordsProjectsA plan and a cost collector at once. The join between them is the work breakdown structure — a WBS element is simultaneously a piece of work and an account assignment.OpenRecordsWork BreakdownBoth a piece of work and an account assignment. A summary element plans and does not accept postings; a work package accepts them and is where the money actually lands.OpenRecordsNetwork ActivitiesThe scheduled work below the WBS. Float is the point: an activity with zero float is on the critical path, and a day lost on it is a day lost on the project.OpenRecordsActivity DependenciesWhat cannot start before what. A cycle in the network makes both scheduling passes non-terminating, so it is detected and named rather than survived.OpenRecordsMilestonesA billing milestone is what turns delivery into an invoice — the join between the plan and the cash.OpenRecordsProject BudgetsVersioned, because "what was the original budget" and "what is the budget now" are both asked and one mutable number answers neither.OpenViewProject CostsPlanned, committed, actual and billed in one table, because the four have to be compared and comparing four tables is how a project report disagrees with itself.OpenRecordsProject ResourcesWho is booked to what, and for how much of their week. A named person, or a requirement not yet filled — both are real and the second is what a resource manager works from.OpenRecordsRisks & IssuesThe exposure in money, so a risk register can be added up and compared with the contingency held.OpenRecordsProject ProgramsA program exists to deliver a BENEFIT, and a program whose benefit is not a measurable number is a group of projects with a shared letterhead.OpenRecordsPortfoliosThe envelope. A portfolio whose approved projects exceed its budget is the situation portfolio management exists to prevent, and it is invisible unless the envelope is a number.Open

Contract Costing

2

Fixed price, progress by cost-to-cost, retention held back — and the whole expected loss taken the moment it is foreseen.

Profitability

8

The ledger says the company made 4.2 million. This says which region, which range and which channel it came from — and where the margin reverses.

Signatures

2

Documents sent to the other party to sign electronically, and who may sign them for the company.

Close & Compliance

Finishing the month, filing what is due, and proving it was done properly.

Financial Close

8

Not a button: forty to three hundred tasks in an order where half cannot start until another has finished, against a date somebody promised a board.

Finance Automation

7

What the finance jobs found, and the decisions they leave to a person: cash application, dunning, the server-run close, e-invoice submissions and alerts.

ViewCash ApplicationBank receipts matched to the open customer invoices they pay, by the invoice number in the remittance, the customer and the amount. Those at or above the company's confidence threshold are applied when its autonomy level allows; the rest wait here with a suggestion for a person to apply or turn down.OpenRecordsDunning LevelsThe letters an overdue customer is sent, and after how many days. The wording may use {{customer}}, {{invoice_no}}, {{due_date}}, {{days_overdue}}, {{amount}}, {{currency}} and {{company}}.OpenViewDunning LettersEvery dunning letter sent, once per invoice per level. A letter with no address, or held by the mailer, says so.OpenViewClose RunsThe month-end job set (Platform > Batch Sets, CLOSE-MONTH) run by the server, step by step: recurring entries, revaluation, depreciation, intercompany, consolidation, the readiness check and the soft close. It stops at the first step that fails and says why; Resume carries on from that step.OpenViewE-invoice SubmissionsCustomer invoices submitted as e-invoices because their profile submits automatically: sent, retrying with back-off, out of attempts, or not valid -- with the reason. Retry sends one again now.OpenViewFinance AlertsBudget lines spent and committed past their plan to date by more than the threshold, and cash projected below the floor -- raised once a day each, and sent to the controller.OpenRecordsFinance Automation SettingsThe thresholds behind the finance jobs. What a job may DO with what it finds is the company's autonomy level for it (notify, approve or act); these say what counts as a finding.Open

Financial Controls

12

Which controls we operate, who owns them, when they were last tested — and the second signature on a manual journal, which is the last control standing.

ViewControl SummaryThe framework in one row per process — how many controls, how many key, how many effective, and how many material weaknesses. The page an audit committee is shown.OpenRecordsControl RegisterWhich controls we operate, who owns each, when it was last tested and what we are doing about the ones that failed. A different shape from an audit log, which records changes rather than assurance.OpenViewControl TestsA test result with no sample size is an opinion. The population, the sample and the method are what make it evidence.OpenRecordsDeficienciesThe three levels are not synonyms: a material weakness has to be disclosed. A finding with no owner and no date is a finding that reappears next year.OpenRecordsControl FrameworksThe published framework a control is claimed against. Naming COSO does not make a control effective, but an auditor asks which, and a control mapping to none is one nobody outside the company recognises.OpenViewAccount ReconciliationsAgeing the reconciling items is the whole discipline: a difference that has been there for eleven months is not a timing difference.OpenRecordsReconciling ItemsA reconciliation with a difference and no explanation is a number somebody will plug.OpenRecordsReconciliation PoliciesWhich accounts are reconciled, to what, how often and by whom. The accounts nobody reconciles are where errors live for years.OpenViewJournal ApprovalsThe second pair of eyes — the last control standing once every document-driven route is locked down. Never the person who asked.OpenRecordsJournal Approval RulesWhen a manual journal needs a second signature. Any one trigger is enough — the threshold, a reversal, a backdated entry — because each is a real audit test on its own.OpenViewJournal Audit TrailEvery manual, backdated, out-of-hours or round-number journal, with whether it was approved and which period it landed in. Each marker is a real audit test; a journal carrying four is where an auditor starts.OpenRecordsCertificationsA controller signs that the entity’s numbers are right. A certification WITH exceptions is worth far more than one without — the ones without are the ones people sign without reading.Open

Finance Intelligence

10

Nothing here decides anything. Detectors produce scored observations with their evidence attached; a person opens the case and records what turned out to be true.

WorkspaceRisk QueueWhat is open, what it is worth, and how quickly it is being worked — sorted by exposure rather than by score, because that sends people to the most expensive thing.OpenViewRisk SignalsA scored observation with its EVIDENCE attached. "Score 0.86" persuades nobody; the facts that produced it are what a person acts on.OpenRecordsRisk CasesA person’s queue, with an outcome. The outcome is what closes the loop: confirmed fraud and dismissed noise are both training data, and a system that does not record which cannot improve.OpenRecordsCase ActionsWhat was done about it in the world, as opposed to in the case.OpenRecordsRisk DetectorsEach answers one question, is separately switchable and separately measured. A detector nobody can turn off is one that gets ignored wholesale the first time it is noisy.OpenViewDetector PerformancePrecision — of the signals it raised, how many were real. The only number that decides whether a detector should keep running, and the reason outcomes are recorded at all.OpenViewAssistant SuggestionsSuggestion rather than detection, with the reasoning attached. "Because the last nine invoices from this supplier were coded 6410" is a reason a person can check; a confidence score is not.OpenRecordsCoding PatternsA learned lookup rather than a model. For GL coding this beats a model on both accuracy and explicability, and a person can read it.OpenRecordsNarrativesThe generated text and the edited one, both kept — the difference between them is the most useful feedback there is, and a narrative rewritten entirely was not worth generating.OpenViewAssistant AccuracyConfidence is only useful if it is calibrated: a suggestion offered at 0.9 and accepted half the time is worse than one offered at 0.5 and accepted half the time, because the first one lies.Open

Tax

19

What a code is, how a rate is found, which one applies, what the return should say, and what is deducted at payment.

RecordsTax CodesWhat a document line carries. Zero-rated, exempt and out of scope all show 0.00 on the invoice and are three different things on the return.OpenViewVAT Exemption CodesZATCA’s exemption reason codes: the VAT category each one may be used with, and the official English and Arabic wording printed on the invoice.OpenRecordsTax RatesWhat a code is worth on a date. A rate change is a new row, never an edit — an invoice raised before the change keeps the old rate forever.OpenRecordsTax DeterminationWhich code applies, in priority order, first match wins. This IS the tax engine; everything else is bookkeeping around it.OpenRecordsExemption CertificatesA certificate that has expired is the commonest cause of an assessment, so the expiry is a column rather than a note.OpenViewTax TransactionsEvery tax amount on every document, with the TAXABLE BASE the ledger never held. A return cannot be produced without it.OpenRecordsTax ReturnsA period, the boxes, what the ledger says each should contain, and what was actually filed. A declared figure that differs from the ledger carries a reason.OpenViewTax SummaryWhat the return should say, straight from the transactions — the calculation a preparer sees before typing anything.OpenRecordsReturn TemplatesThe shape of a form. A VAT return has boxes, a GSTR-1 has tables, a sales tax return has schedules — all three are "a named slot with a rule for what goes in it".OpenRecordsReturn BoxesA box is filled from tax transactions, or it is arithmetic over other boxes. A box that is the sum of two others is not stored twice.OpenRecordsTax JurisdictionsWhere tax is levied, nested — a US sale carries state and county and city tax at once, and they are three postings.OpenRecordsTax AuthoritiesWho levies it, under which registration, and where a return is filed.OpenRecordsTax ClassificationsWhat the item IS for tax purposes. A chocolate biscuit and a cake are the same category and different VAT rates — a real case that went to court.OpenRecordsWithholding TypesDeducted at payment, remitted to the authority, and certified to the supplier. Three obligations from one deduction.OpenRecordsWithholdingWhat was deducted, from whom, and whether the certificate the supplier will ask for in April has been issued.OpenRecordsDeferred Tax ItemsTemporary differences between the accounting base and the tax base. Almost universally kept in a spreadsheet, and the reason the tax note is the last thing finished at every year end.OpenViewDeferred TaxThe two bases, the difference, and the asset or liability it gives rise to — computed rather than typed, so the tax note reconciles.OpenRecordsTaxability RulesWhat a kind of item is worth in a jurisdiction: exempt, taxed at a reduced rate, or taxed in full — inherited by the counties, cities and districts beneath it unless they say otherwise.OpenViewLine Tax DetailThe tax on every invoice, quotation and order line, jurisdiction by jurisdiction, as the document worked it out: what a return reads by state, county, city and district.Open

Registrations & Returns

6

Where this company is registered, what is due there, and the guided period run that computes it at the lowest jurisdiction that actually levies.

E-invoicing

10

Structured e-invoices for Europe and Latin America: Peppol, XRechnung, Factur-X, FatturaPA, KSeF and CFDI.

ViewE-invoicesEvery structured e-invoice generated from a customer invoice or credit note: its format, whether it validates, and what the network said. Generate one from Customer Invoices.OpenRecordsE-invoicing ProfilesHow this company issues structured e-invoices: the country, the format (Peppol BIS, XRechnung, Factur-X, FatturaPA, KSeF, CFDI 4.0), the seller’s identifiers and how documents leave. A company with no active profile issues no e-invoices.OpenRecordsE-invoicing Customer IdentifiersWhat each customer’s e-invoice must carry: the Peppol participant id, a German public buyer’s Leitweg-ID, the Italian codice destinatario or PEC, the Mexican RFC and uso CFDI, the Polish NIP.OpenRecordsE-invoicing ConnectionsThe networks e-invoices are sent through: a Peppol access point, Italy’s SdI, Poland’s KSeF, a Mexican PAC. The credential is sealed and never shown again. These adapters have not been tried against a live network from this installation; send by file until a connection has been tested with real credentials.OpenRecordsZATCA Signing UnitsThe e-invoice generation solution units (EGS) registered with ZATCA. Under Phase 2 every invoice is stamped by one -- the branch’s own, or the company’s default -- and carries its counter (ICV) and the previous invoice’s hash (PIH). The private key and the ZATCA secrets are sealed and never shown. A TEST unit stamps with a self-signed certificate ZATCA would not accept: for demonstrations only.OpenViewZATCA DashboardEach signing unit at a glance: how many of its invoices ZATCA cleared, reported, accepted with warnings or rejected; how old the oldest invoice still waiting is (a simplified invoice must be reported within 24 hours); when its certificate expires; and the latest rejection. Open ZATCA Submissions for the invoices themselves.OpenViewZATCA SubmissionsEvery invoice and note stamped under ZATCA Phase 2 and what ZATCA said. A tax invoice (B2B) is cleared when it is posted and may be given to the buyer only once cleared; a simplified invoice (B2C) is reported within 24 hours. One that could not be sent is tried again automatically with the same document. A REJECTED document may not be given to anybody and is never sent again as it is: re-issue it, correct the cause and post the new one.OpenViewZATCA OnboardingEach signing unit taken through ZATCA’s onboarding: choose the environment (the Developer Portal sandbox, simulation, or production), enter the one-time password from the Fatoora portal, run the compliance checks (one sample of each document the unit issues), then request the production certificate. Renew before the certificate expires — a warning is raised 30 days ahead. The keys and ZATCA’s secrets are sealed and never shown. Register the unit itself under ZATCA Signing Units first.OpenViewZATCA ArchiveEvery stamped document as issued, every document ZATCA cleared, and every answer ZATCA gave, with the SHA-256 of what was kept. Append-only: the database refuses any change or removal, except the retention purge of records older than the company’s retention (at least six years, the KSA VAT record-keeping period).OpenViewZATCA API LogEvery request this company sent to ZATCA’s Fatoora platform and what it answered — onboarding, compliance checks, clearance and reporting — with the one-time passwords, the secrets and the authorization header taken out before it was written.

Controlling

5

Where cost is incurred and where result is measured.

Budgeting

6

What may be spent, where the money came from, and what is already committed.

Settlement & Allocation

8

Cost collected on a collector has to reach where it belongs before the period can close, and an indirect cost center’s cost has to reach a productive one.

Fund Accounting

12

Funds, grants, programs and functions on every line, and the rules that put them there — so a clerk keys the cost center and the ledger knows which fund paid and which award it is charged to.

WorkspaceDerivation StudioWrite the rules that derive fund, grant, program and function — conditions in AND/OR groups or an expression, actions that set a value, copy a field, look one up or compute it — and test them against a line before they touch a posting.OpenRecordsFundsEach fund is a self-balancing set of accounts with its own restrictions. The type decides the category: governmental, proprietary or fiduciary.OpenRecordsGrantsEvery award: who gave it, its Assistance Listing number, its period of performance and the fund it belongs to. A cost outside the period, or in another fund, is refused at posting.OpenRecordsPrograms & FunctionsWhat the money was for (a program) and the statement of activities column it reports under (a function).OpenRecordsDerivation Rule SetsOne set per thing derived, run in sequence so a later set can read what an earlier one decided. First match stops at the first rule that fires; all applicable lets each refine the last.OpenRecordsDerivation RulesEvery rule as a record. The Derivation Studio draws the condition as a builder; here it is the JSON it is saved as.OpenRecordsDerivation Lookup TablesOne, two or three key fields to a value: a hundred cost centers to their funds is one table, not a hundred rules.OpenRecordsDerivation Lookup RowsA key, or two or three, and the value it gives. * matches anything; the most specific row wins.OpenRecordsFund Accounting SettingsWhether every line this company posts must carry a fund, and whether the derivation rules run at all.OpenViewDerived PostingsEvery posted line with its fund, grant, program and function, and which rule put each there.OpenRecordsBudget TransfersMoney moved between budget lines or funds during the year, or the adopted amount amended — each one numbered, approved by a second person, and audited. On approval the lines’ planned and available amounts change.OpenRecordsGrant ClaimsA reimbursement claim to the grantor for what the grant has spent to the end of the period, less what was claimed before. Approved by a second person, it raises the grantor’s invoice in the grant’s fund, ready to post.Open

Product Costing

13

What a thing should cost, what it did cost, and why those two numbers differ — split six ways, because each names a different department.

ViewCost EstimatesExplode the bill of material, price it, walk the routing, apply the overhead. Released, the estimate becomes the standard — and a standard that can be edited makes every variance since January a fiction.OpenViewCost ItemisationOne row per input, at whatever level of the bill of material it came from — which is what makes "why does this cost 42.60" answerable rather than merely assertable.OpenRecordsCosting RunsSelect, cost, mark, release. Marking and releasing are separate on purpose: a company marks in December and releases on 1 January.OpenViewVariance AnalysisSix categories, because each names a different department: price is purchasing, quantity is production, rate is the cost center, efficiency is the routing. A single "manufacturing variance" tells nobody what to do.OpenViewMaterial LedgerWhat an item ACTUALLY cost in a period, once every purchase price difference and production variance is rolled back in. The only honest answer to "what did the goods we sold in March cost us".OpenRecordsCosting VariantsWhere the material price comes from. The same bill of material costed at standard, moving average and last purchase price gives three different answers and all three are defensible.OpenRecordsOverhead RulesHow indirect cost is added on top. Crude, universal, and exactly what activity-based costing was invented to replace — which is why both are supported.OpenRecordsCost ElementsA GL account seen from the controlling side. A SECONDARY element exists only inside controlling — posting one to a real expense account would double the company’s costs, so the database refuses it.OpenRecordsCost ComponentsA cost of 42.60 is not analysable. Split into material, labour, machine, setup and overhead it tells a plant manager which of the five to attack.OpenRecordsActivity TypesWhat a cost center provides: machine hours, labour hours, setup, inspection. How a cost center’s cost reaches a product, and the same machinery activity-based costing uses.OpenRecordsActivity RatesWhat one hour of that activity costs, from that cost center. The PLANNED rate charges orders all year; the ACTUAL rate is only knowable afterwards, and the difference is what actual costing settles.OpenRecordsActivity PostingsOne consumption: this order used 4.2 machine hours from that cost center on that day. The row that carries cost from a cost center to a product.OpenViewCost Center AbsorptionWhat a cost center cost, what it charged out, and what it failed to absorb. Under-absorption is idle capacity, and it is the number a plant manager is actually held to.Open

Landed Cost

3

Freight, duty and the other costs of getting goods in, spread onto the stock they belong to.

Workforce Planning

People are most of the cost base, so the budget is mostly a workforce plan — built on seats rather than names, because a plan on names cannot hold a vacancy.
