Journal Entry
A journal entry records financial transactions in the General Ledger, detailing debits and credits for accurate accounting. In expense management, approved expenses are converted into journal entries, automatically mapped to GL accounts, including taxes and currency conversions. Customizable formats ensure compatibility with accounting systems like NetSuite, with manual review options for accuracy. Linked to original expense data, entries maintain traceability for audits. Automation reduces errors, speeds up financial closures, and ensures seamless integration, enhancing financial accuracy and compliance across the organization.
