Auto-generate reversing entries for prior accruals
On the first business day of the new period, reads last period's posted accruals from Airtable, drafts the mirror-image reversing journal entries.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerFirst business day of new period
- ActionRead prior-period posted accruals from AirtableAirtable
- LogicSwap debits/credits to build reversals
- ActionPost reversing batch to ledger via webhookHTTP webhook
- OutputConfirm reversals in SlackSlack
What it does
Accruals are temporary; they must reverse next period so the actual invoice doesn't double the expense. This workflow reads every accrual posted last period and generates its exact reversal, drafting the offsetting entries automatically at the start of the new month.
When to use it
Run it the morning the new period opens, immediately after close. Use it whenever your accrual policy is "book and reverse" rather than leaving accruals to be relieved by invoice matching — it eliminates the most common close error: forgotten reversals.
How it works
- 1A scheduled trigger fires on the first business day of the new period.
- 2An action reads all Airtable accrual rows with status "Posted" stamped to the prior period.
- 3A logic step swaps each entry's debits and credits to build the reversing entry, dated the first of the new period.
- 4An action posts the reversing batch to the ledger over an HTTP webhook.
- 5The output writes a reconciliation summary back to Airtable and pings the close channel in Slack confirming reversals are filed.
