How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • LogicCompute and rank variances by materiality
  • ActionWrite ranked report to close workpaperAirtableAirtable
  • OutputPost aggregate adjustment summary to TeamsMicrosoft Teams

What it does

At period close, it revalues the full book of foreign-currency invoices against the official close rate, computes the variance versus the originally booked amount per invoice and in aggregate, and produces a ranked list of the most material movements so the close team knows exactly which lines drive the FX adjustment.

When to use it

Run this as part of the monthly or quarterly close to size the FX revaluation entry and justify it line by line. Best when your invoice ledger already lands in BigQuery and you need a defensible, ranked materiality view rather than a raw dump.

How it works

  1. 1A month-end schedule triggers the recompute.
  2. 2The flow queries all open foreign invoices and their booked rates from BigQuery.
  3. 3It pulls the official period-close rates and revalues every invoice.
  4. 4Logic computes per-invoice and aggregate variance, then ranks by materiality.
  5. 5The ranked report is written back to an Airtable close workpaper.
  6. 6A summary with the aggregate adjustment and top movers posts to Teams.
