What to provide

The journal listing, the period calendar and the document dates.

Workflow

  1. List postings near period boundaries.
  2. Compare each posting date to its document date.
  3. Flag postings in the wrong period.
  4. Return the check without reclassing entries.

Output contract

Entry | document date | posted period | flag | reviewer

Fictional acceptance test

Fictional boundary scan: 40 postings within 5 days of close; 37 match their document period and 3 carry a prior-month document date. Flag 3 postings.

Review gates and limits

Re-check approved cutoff exceptions before flagging. The check surfaces candidates; the accountant reclasses.
