After source files are uploaded, the Management Accounts workflow moves through posting, diagnostics, outputs, and approval. Approval is the control point that confirms the selected period has been reviewed.

Post operational registers

  1. 1Open Processing Runs.
  2. 2Click Post operational registers.
  3. 3Confirm the modal only after checking the selected business and period.
  4. 4Wait for WiseWage to create journals and GL entries.
  5. 5WiseWage rounds operational-register currency amounts to two decimal places using standard half-up rounding before checking that journal debits and credits balance and before posting the GL entries.
  6. 6If new account codes are found, open Chart of Accounts, review the setup bubble, and complete the placeholder classifications before final reporting.
  7. 7Review the completed run summary.

Review diagnostics and issues

  1. 1Open Diagnostics to review posting messages.
  2. 2Use Export CSV when you need a row-level diagnostic file.
  3. 3Open Issues to review structured problems that need action.
  4. 4Resolve errors before approving the period.
  5. 5For an Inventory Business, resolve missing source, Cost of Sales, Closing Inventory, or reconciliation diagnostics. Verify inventory postings as per accounting requirements, correct the source workbook or Operational Register, and post again.
  6. 6Warnings should be read and explained, not ignored automatically.

Approve and generate outputs

  1. 1Review diagnostics, issues, classifications, and the trial balance after posting is complete.
  2. 2Click Approve period when the accounting records are final.
  3. 3Open Backups & Reports after approval.
  4. 4Generate or download the backup, Excel report, PowerPoint pack, and Executive Email Summary Draft files for the approved period.
  5. 5Download the backup workbook for detailed finance review, including GL detail, trial balance, entity contribution, FX conversion, COA, and diagnostics.
  6. 6Download the Management Accounts report pack for management-facing review. The Balance Sheet is rebuilt from posted YTD GL and BS classifications, with entity contribution and FX conversion schedules included.
  7. 7Download the PowerPoint pack for owner or management review; it uses posted Management Accounts values and flags pending KPI/source data instead of inventing it.
  8. 8Review and edit the Executive Email Summary Draft, then export it as TXT, DOCX, or HTML for management circulation.
  9. 9Use Rollback approval only when a reviewed period needs correction; rollback clears generated output file records so the reopened period cannot keep stale approved packs. Approve again before generating replacements.
