[0038] Exemplary methods

[0039] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of the business-finance integrated financial accounting method based on a rule engine provided by the present invention. This embodiment can be applied to electronic devices, such as… Figure 1 As shown, the rule engine-based integrated business and finance accounting method 100 includes the following steps:

[0040] Step 101: Receive business data from the business system. The business data is associated with specific source data and document types.

[0041] Step 102: Based on the values ​​of the influencing factors contained in the business data, determine the purpose accounting ledger for the business data according to the accounting rules;

[0042] Step 103: Based on the values ​​of the influencing factors contained in the business data, determine the accounting subjects of the business data according to the classification definition and the subject comparison table;

[0043] Step 104: Based on the conversion template corresponding to the target accounting ledger and document type, combine the field values ​​of the business data with the accounting subjects to generate real-time vouchers;

[0044] Step 105: Save the real-time voucher as an accounting voucher under the target accounting ledger.

[0045] Specifically, the invention provides a complete financial accounting system that, by setting rules and maintaining basic data, forms a service platform that can automatically perform financial accounting, voucher generation, cash flow analysis, and statement generation.

[0046] The accounting platform is an accounting engine and data conversion platform that transforms front-end business documents into accounting vouchers. It serves as a tool and bridge connecting front-end business documents and accounting vouchers. By setting conversion rules, it can automatically generate accounting vouchers (documents) for the general ledger system, profit center accounting, and cost system—the main accounting systems—from business data of any format, thereby ensuring the integration of business and finance. The overall architecture is as follows: Figure 2 As shown:

[0047] Key technical aspects include: Accounting settings, used to define the accounting requirements for each business transaction and whether accounting is required; an account lookup table defining specific account categories and codes; an element lookup table defining auxiliary items and values ​​corresponding to business data; conversion template settings for the style, data, and formula configuration of financial vouchers, flexibly supporting complex calculations and data retrieval; and basic file conversion, configuring data mapping processing to handle merging, splitting, and conversion.

[0048] Our solution consists of an interface adaptation layer, a rules engine, and a data output layer.

[0049] I. Interface Adaptation Layer: This layer provides a data entry point for all business data and is a prerequisite for financial accounting processing.

[0050] 1. Standard interface implementation: This solution uses a unified interface protocol.

[0051] Communication protocols: Supports multiple protocols such as HTTP / REST, WebService, and MQ.

[0052] Data format: Standardized JSON Schema definition, compatible with XML format conversion.

[0053] Security mechanism: Employs TLS 1.3 encryption and OAuth 2.0 authentication and authorization.

[0054] 2. Business System Adaptation Module

[0055] The pre-built connector library contains dedicated adapters for mainstream business systems such as SAP, Oracle ERP, and Yonyou NC. Each adapter implements the mapping and conversion from standard interfaces to specific system APIs.

[0059] II. Details of Core Function Implementation

[0060] 1. Real-time data integration process:

[0061] Business events trigger (such as the completion of purchase order approval);

[0062] The adapter captures events and extracts key business data;

[0063] Data standardization and transformation (business data → accounting events);

[0064] It is pushed to the core engine of the accounting platform for processing.

[0065] 2. Batch data synchronization mechanism:

[0066] Incremental synchronization: Incremental data acquisition based on timestamp / version number;

[0067] Full synchronization: Regularly perform full data verification and completion;

[0068] Conflict resolution: Optimistic locking mechanism is used to handle data conflicts.

[0069] III. Anomaly Handling and Monitoring

[0071] Retry mechanism: Configurable exponential backoff retry strategy;

[0072] Dead letter queue: Messages that cannot be processed are transferred to the exception handling process;

[0073] Compensation transactions: a mechanism for compensating key business operations.

[0074] 2. Monitoring indicator system

[0075] Interface availability monitoring (99.99% SLA guaranteed);

[0076] Data transmission delay monitoring (P99 < 500ms);

[0077] Data consistency verification (daily reconciliation mechanism).

[0078] IV. Performance Optimization Solutions

[0079] Connection pool management: Reuse business system connections to reduce handshake overhead. Data compression: Enable LZ4 compression for large data volume transmissions.

[0080] Local caching: Frequently accessed metadata cache

[0081] Asynchronous processing: Non-critical paths are processed asynchronously.

[0082] V. Security Control Measures: Access Control - Fine-grained permission management based on the RBAC model

[0083] Data masking: Automatic masking of sensitive fields

[0084] Audit logs: Complete record of all API call details

[0085] Flow control: Preventing abnormal traffic from impacting business systems

[0086] The interface adaptation layer design has been verified in actual projects, supporting stable integration of over 1 million business documents per day, with average latency controlled within 200ms and data accuracy reaching 99.999%. Through standardized integration methods, the access cycle for new business systems has been shortened from the original 2-4 weeks to 3-5 working days.

[0087] Furthermore, the rule engine in this application is the core of transforming business data into financial accounting vouchers, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0088] Business data is imported into the system business data via the interface adapter;

[0089] (1) Entry settings (rules): The general ledger for business data entry settings;

[0090] (2) Document Items: Extract the corresponding fields from the business data as the data for accounting;

[0091] (3) Definition and association of influencing factors: Extract the basic files corresponding to the fields in the business data; for example, customer files, department files, the associated information of the records is customer ID, and the complete information such as customer code and name can be found through the association relationship.

[0092] (4) Correlation of influencing factors: Convert business data into corresponding accounting subjects through correlation relationships;

[0093] (5) Template Conversion: Convert business data into the final financial voucher format;

[0094] (6) Voucher generation: Users can view and save vouchers here;

[0095] 1.1 Definition of Influencing Factors

[0096] The influencing factor definition defines the influencing factors referenced by each business module in the accounting settings and classification definitions. Influencing factors and their corresponding basic file types are set according to business modules. The influencing factor source file reference, accounting rules, and auxiliary accounting (files) are defined. The file reference visibility scope includes all organizations with an accounting entrustment relationship with the current source organization, as well as organizations with a source relationship with this source organization or entrusting organization. The format is shown in Table 1.

[0097] Table 1. Definition style of image factors

[0098]

[0099]

[0100] 1.2 Main Fields

[0101] Source data: Since the definition of influencing factors is based on business systems, and different business systems have different influencing factors, the source system must be determined first when defining influencing factors.

[0102] Influencing Factor Name: Influencing factors are required when setting up accounting rules or category definitions to impose constraints. The names of the influencing factors should be simple and clear in meaning. This is a required field and cannot be repeated within the same business system.

[0103] Corresponding basic file type: This refers to the type of basic file corresponding to the influencing factor. You can select this option, but it is a required field.

[0104] Important Notes: Influencing factors can only be viewed and defined after selecting the source system on the left. Switching system types is not allowed while the table body is in edit mode. Within the same business module, the mapping relationship between influencing factor names and their corresponding basic file types is unique; one-to-many relationships are not allowed.

[0105] 1.3 Correlation of Influencing Factors on Documents

[0106] Document influencing factor association links the influencing factors of each business module with the field attributes of its subordinate business documents. The association relationships between the influencing factors of each business system and the document items of its subordinate business documents are set separately for each business module. The style is shown in Table 2.

[0107] Table 2. Relationship of Influencing Factors in Documents:

[0108]

[0109]

[0110] 1.4 Main Fields

[0111] Influencing factors: Refer to the names of the influencing factors defined in the Influencing Factors Definition node.

[0112] Document Fields: Refer to the fields on the selected business document or transaction type. You can select them based on metadata or document items to associate the influencing factors with the actual items of the document in the business system.

[0113] Important Notes: You can only view and associate influencing factors after selecting a specific document type or transaction type. Within the same business document, the mapping relationship between influencing factors and document items is unique; one-to-many relationships are not allowed. Switching the source system is not allowed when the table body on the right is in edit mode. Associating document types and transaction types is supported. If there is no transaction type, the association set by the document type will apply. If there is a transaction type and an association has been established, the association set by that transaction type will apply, and the association set by the document type will no longer apply (following the principle of detail priority).

[0114] 1.5. Document Items

[0115] The document item list displays the fields on the business document, their location on the document, and the associated underlying files. The system provides automatic registration (XML automatic registration) and import functions. The accounting platform supports XML automatic registration, and documents from other system modules can be automatically registered.

[0116] Table 3. Document Item Templates:

[0117]

[0118] Main fields:

[0119] Field encoding: The system reads the document item metadata of the business document.

[0120] Field Name: The name of the document item read by the system from the business document.

[0121] Location: The system reads the position of the document item on the business document, including the header, body and footer.

[0122] Basic Files: Describes the basic files associated with document items on a business document, and can be modified.

[0123] Note: You can only view and set the location of document items and associated basic files after selecting a business document type.

[0124] 1.6 Accounting Settings (Rules)

[0125] The accounting settings (rules) define the rules for generating vouchers for different business systems, specifying which organization (financial organization / profit center) and which ledger (accounting ledger / responsibility accounting ledger / tax ledger) the business system documents generate.

[0126] Supports cross-organizational reference to departmental personnel files. The scope of visible organizations for file reference includes all organizations with an accounting entrustment relationship with the current source organization, as well as organizations with a source relationship with this source organization or entrusting organization. The accounting rule is shown in icon 4.

[0127] Table 4 Receipt Rules

[0128]

[0129] 1.7 Subject Comparison Table

[0130] Among the many basic archives, archives of different types have different correspondences and conversion relationships. This conversion relationship is the function of combining one or more archives to generate another archive value. Specifically, it is the lookup table under the classification definition of the accounting platform, used to clarify the relationship between other archive combinations and the conversion into accounting subjects or elements.

[0131] As a complex system integrating various business systems, the fixed relationships between files are used by multiple business systems. If each business system were to define its own such relationships, it would not only increase the implementation workload but also make later maintenance difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to encapsulate these relationship definitions to achieve the effect of defining them once and using them multiple times. The subject lookup table is used for this purpose.

[0132] The account lookup table is used to set filtering conditions for various influencing factors in the business system. The lookup table is extracted as a common setting, enabling documents in the business system to generate vouchers or other information according to the rules of the lookup table. The account lookup table is set up at two levels: group and business unit. The group definition refers to the group-level archives, while the business unit definition refers to the current organization-level archives.

[0133] Main operations and fields:

[0134] (1) Ledgers_Ledger Type: Refer to the selection. The target file type can only be defined as accounting subject, so the financial accounting ledger type must be selected.

[0135] (2) Encoding / Name: The encoding and name of each node should be unique.

[0136] (3) Source Files: The file type can refer to all basic files, including custom files; multiple files can be selected, and attention should be paid to the setting order when there are multiple files. The system distinguishes them by serial number by default.

[0137] (4) Purpose file type: The purpose file type for subject file comparison can only define accounting subjects. Under the specified ledger type, the specific chart of subjects must be found through the current group or organization and ledger type.

[0138] (5) Reference Table: Displayed as a sub-table, grouped by the selected source file; the reference table is editable when adding or modifying new or modified subjects, supporting adding, deleting, and moving rows up / down. The rules for setting up the reference table include:

[0139] (5.1) The records in the lookup table have an order requirement;

[0140] (5.2) The combination of archive values ​​of the source archive type cannot be repeated;

[0141] (5.3) Null values ​​can be defined, and null values ​​represent all values;

[0142] (5.4) The source file can be defined as a non-final level file, but the destination file must be a final level subject.

[0143] Important Notes: Once a file type in a reference table is referenced, its order cannot be changed, and file types cannot be added or removed. Referenced reference tables cannot be deleted, but they can be modified. Reference tables cannot be duplicated to avoid system misjudgments.

[0144] 1.8 Accounting Setup (Comparison)

[0145] The entry settings (matching) define the rules for generating vouchers for different business systems based on the file matching method, specifying which organization (financial organization / profit center) and which ledger (accounting ledger / responsibility accounting ledger / tax ledger).

[0146] Main fields:

[0147] Source organization: The organization to which the business document that generated the target voucher belongs.

[0148] Influencing factors: Refer to the influencing factors defined by the selected business system.

[0149] Reference table: Refer to the reference table set.

[0150] Ledgers_Financial Accounting Ledgers Default Value: Sets the financial accounting ledger to which the target document generated by the source system belongs.

[0151] Organization: Displays the name of the source organization.

[0152] Important Notes: Before setting up accounting rules based on document matching, select the source organization and business system. Set up accounting rules according to the document matching method within the business system. After setting up the matching table, carefully modify any influencing factors, especially reducing influencing factors, as this may cause serious errors.

[0153] 1.9 Classification Definition

[0154] When generating general ledger vouchers, responsibility vouchers, tax difference vouchers, and self-made consumption vouchers from business documents, the documents describe the occurrence of the original business transactions and do not record account or responsibility element information according to accounting requirements. Therefore, conversion is necessary. This involves identifying the correspondence between fields on the document based on the accounting content of the accounting subjects or accounting elements, and recording this as a lookup table. When generating vouchers, the appropriate accounting subjects or accounting elements are found based on the corresponding field content on the document according to the correspondence. All accounting subjects or elements that may be used when generating vouchers from business documents should be categorized and defined here.

[0155] Main fields:

[0156] Encoding: Defines the accounting subject codes that need to be used in the conversion template.

[0157] Name: Defines the name of the accounting subject to be used in the conversion template.

[0158] Influencing factors: Refer to the influencing factors defined by the selected business system.

[0159] Reference table: Refer to the reference table set.

[0160] Default values ​​for account association information: Refer to the specific values ​​in the accounting file corresponding to the accounting account set.

[0161] Precautions:

[0162] a. Filter the lookup table according to the generation target selected in the table header (whether it is a general ledger voucher or a responsibility voucher) and the ledger type; and the source file type set in the lookup table should be completely consistent with the basic file type corresponding to the influencing factors referenced in the current classification definition, with no more and no less.

[0163] b. Based on the selected influencing factors, the system displays the correspondence between the source file types and the influencing factors in the lookup table, ensuring that the document fields can be correctly converted according to the content of the lookup table. At this time, the system automatically displays the correspondence, with a default match. Users can modify it. After the modification is confirmed, the system writes back the file type order of the influencing factors defined in the current classification according to the modified file type order.

[0164] c. Be cautious when modifying the default accounting entries (elements) and the comparison table records, as modifications may result in the inability to find accounts that meet the conditions when recalculating real-time vouchers.

[0165] d. When setting up a group, the type of ledger must be determined before a reference table can be set up. The referenced accounts are the contents of the policy-based account table designated by the group.

[0166] After setting up the e-reference table, please modify the influencing factors carefully, especially reducing the influencing factors may cause serious errors.

[0167] f. In the lookup table, when the system searches for document information that meets the conditions, it executes the search from the first to the last based on the influencing factors, so that the different levels of accounting entries are matched according to the order of the influencing factors. See Case 1 in Table 5 for reference:

[0168] Table 5 Case 1

[0169] Sending / receiving category (influencing factor 1) Inventory Classification (Influencing Factor 2) Accounting entries illustrate Production requisition Components Production costs - semi-finished products Requisition of parts Production requisition raw materials Production Costs - Raw Materials Requisition of raw materials Other requisitions Office supplies Management expenses - office expenses Requisition of office supplies

[0170] In Case 1, when influencing factor 1 is the same, the accounting entry is determined according to the order of influencing factor 2.

[0171] g. If all influencing factors are the same, different accounting entries cannot be defined. Refer to Case 2 in Table 6:

[0172] Table 6 Case 2

[0173] Sending / receiving category (influencing factor 1) Inventory Classification (Influencing Factor 2) Accounting entries illustrate Production requisition Components Production costs - semi-finished products Requisition of parts Production requisition raw materials Production Costs - Raw Materials Requisition of raw materials

[0174] In Case 2, because all the influencing factors are the same, the second record cannot be saved normally.

[0175] Classification Definition - Group: The name of "[Responsibility Accounting - Scope of Control]" has been changed to "[Book Type]", which is based on the system's book type archive; the element table referenced by the accounting elements in the classification definition comparison table is the group policy element table of the element system corresponding to the book type;

[0176] It supports cross-organizational reference to departmental personnel files. The scope of visible organizational references includes all organizations with an accounting entrustment relationship with the current source organization, as well as organizations with a source relationship with that source organization or entrusting organization. For example, if a business employee of Unit A works for Unit B, and Unit B entrusts Unit C with its accounting, then when configuring departmental influencing factors in Unit C, the departmental reference scope includes all departments of organizations C, B, and A.

[0177] 1.9 Convert Template

[0178] The conversion template defines a voucher template, which is an accounting description corresponding to documents and business processes. It serves as the basis and starting point for generating vouchers from documents and business processes. The voucher template completes the description of the voucher entry structure by specifying the correspondence between document items and voucher fields.

[0179] The process of defining a voucher template involves clarifying the data sources for each item on the voucher, such as the account (responsibility element, difference adjustment item), summary, amount, and auxiliary accounting items.

[0180] Main fields:

[0181] Business Process: This is a method of storing voucher templates. A single document can have different voucher templates set for different business types. The voucher templates are referenced from the company's business type archive. If a business type is set in this field, vouchers will be generated according to the voucher template for that business type if the business type field on the document meets the conditions. If no business type is selected, the defined voucher template is the default voucher template.

[0182] b. Business Association Information X: This setting determines the value of the association information between different documents. For example, if some accounts receivable and receipts are related to the same transaction (such as the same sales order), the accounts receivable system generates two documents: one for accounts receivable and one for receipts. If they need to be merged into a single voucher in the general ledger, the Business Association Information X field should be the "Order Number" field from the document when defining the voucher templates for both the accounts receivable and receipts. In the voucher generation node, both the accounts receivable and receipt vouchers should be retrieved in real-time. Then, click the "Batch Selection" button and select the "Business Association Information X" field in the batch selection criteria. The system will automatically merge and generate vouchers based on real-time vouchers with the same business association information. The Business Association Information field can be a statistical field or a memo field from the document.

[0183] Generation Method: The system provides four options: Immediate Processing, Scheduled Processing, Standby Processing, and No Processing. Immediate Processing: The accounting platform immediately converts and generates real-time vouchers or accounting vouchers upon receiving a message from the business system. Scheduled Processing: Processing is performed at a fixed time as set by parameters, rather than immediately. Standby Processing: The system determines when to process the voucher when idle. No Processing: No conversion or processing is performed upon receiving a message from the business system.

[0184] d. Target document status: Provides two options: formal voucher and temporary voucher. When set to formal voucher, the document generates a formal voucher directly through the accounting platform without manual intervention. When set to temporary voucher, a temporary voucher is generated first, requiring manual intervention, before a formal voucher is generated.

[0185] If processing fails, the document will be prevented from taking effect: When this option is not selected, asynchronous service is supported for business transfer to the accounting platform. Asynchronous service means that after the business document is processed during the business transfer process to the accounting platform, the business operation can be completed without waiting for the platform's voucher creation result. The accounting platform will automatically complete the voucher creation function when computer resources are idle. Specifically, if the message sent to the accounting platform during the document's activation stage cannot be converted into a voucher according to the template, the document's activation operation will not be allowed. If this option is not selected, the accounting platform will place this message in the platform log as an error data entry, but it will not affect the document's related operations.

[0186] f. Filter table body by entry rules: In multi-ledger accounting mode, if this option is selected, when a document generates a voucher based on the voucher template, the entry rules will be re-filtered according to the table body rows. If this setting is not selected, the entry rules will not be filtered when a document generates a voucher based on the voucher template. For example, if the ledger entry rules define generating ledger vouchers by department, such as "Department 1" generating "Ledger 1" voucher and "Department 2" generating "Ledger 2" voucher, and the business system has a document like this: Table body row 1 Department 1 1000 Table body row 2 Department 2 2000, then if both ledger 1 and ledger 2 vouchers corresponding to this option are selected, vouchers of 1000 and 2000 yuan will be generated for ledger 1 and ledger 2 respectively. If neither option is selected, both ledger 1 and ledger 2 will generate a voucher of 3000 yuan.

[0187] Main operation: The conversion template needs to be defined by the destination party, i.e., the party that will generate the voucher. In other words, whoever generates my voucher must generate it using my conversion template to ensure accuracy. Defining the conversion template needs to follow a specific operational procedure.

[0188] 1) Select the source system and source document type or transaction type.

[0189] 2) Select the target to generate and the ledger type for the target to generate.

[0190] 3) Select the business type (this step is not mandatory, but if a document needs to generate different vouchers under different processes, it needs to be defined separately).

[0191] 4) Prior to this, if the template needs to reference the category definition, the category definition needs to be set in advance.

[0192] 5) Define the header and footer content of the template respectively.

[0193] 6) Define the content of the template table body. Note that if the account has auxiliary accounting, you also need to define the fields of the corresponding documents for auxiliary accounting.

[0194] Precautions:

[0195] 1) The category selected on the template should have a defined lookup table or default value; otherwise, vouchers cannot be generated.

[0196] 2) When copying voucher templates by document or by business type, they can only be copied from an existing voucher template to an empty voucher template. Documents or business types with defined voucher templates cannot be referenced.

[0197] 3) When defining a formula, if you manually enter a string in the formula box, be sure to enclose the string in double quotes.

[0198] 4) Cash flow information in general ledger vouchers does not need to be configured. As long as the cash flow item is specified on the document, the accounting platform will generate the journal entry based on the specified value.

[0199] 5) When retrieving document items using formula definitions in the accounting platform, document items are displayed separately in the header and body, making it difficult to select many items together; you can locate them by right-clicking the header.

[0200] 6) If multiple formulas are nested, they should be defined in the following form: a->getcolvalue(...); b->getcolvalue(...a); c->getcolvalue(...b);

[0201] 7) The conversion template defined by the group does not involve the issue of generating vouchers across organizations, because everyone uses the same template, and only the voucher templates of the financial accounting books and their classification and posting rules can be defined at the group level.

[0202] When editing the conversion template, a check button is added. When the check button is clicked, the system checks whether all auxiliary accounting items of the accounts associated with the accounting entries in the document conversion template are configured completely. For any missing auxiliary accounting items, the system needs to provide detailed prompts, such as: "The auxiliary accounting item in line x2 of the account category (accounts receivable) is not configured. Please check the correctness of the configuration."

[0203] Template Conversion - Group:

[0204] The name of "[Responsibility Accounting - Scope of Control]" has been changed to "[Ledger Type]", and its reference is the system's ledger type file.

[0205] In the conversion template, the element table referenced by the accounting elements is the group policy element table of the element system corresponding to the ledger type.

[0206] Support cross-organization reference to department personnel files. The visible organization scope for file reference: all organizations with an accounting entrustment relationship with the current source organization, as well as those with a source relationship with the source organization or the entrusted organization. For example: The business personnel of Unit A work in Unit B, and Unit B entrusts Unit C for accounting. Then, when configuring department influencing factors in Unit C, the department reference scope includes all departments of the three organizations C + B + A.

[0207] 1.10. Voucher Generation

[0208] Document generation is one of the core functions of the accounting platform. In the case of push-style voucher generation, when a document becomes effective, a request for voucher generation will be sent to the accounting platform. The accounting platform will match which destination ledger's vouchers need to be generated according to the posting rules, and then find the voucher template defined under this destination ledger for voucher conversion. If classification definitions are also used on the voucher, it is also necessary to refer to the cross-reference table on the classification definition for matching to determine the specific accounting subjects. When pull-style generation is used, the destination party queries the documents of the source party and then performs conversion through the conversion template to generate the documents (vouchers) of the destination party.

[0209] Main Operations

[0210] 1) Select - Mark / Unmark: For records selected by highlighting with the cursor, these records can be marked with a grouping number through [Mark] for the next step of voucher generation (Note: Records without a grouping number will not perform the voucher generation operation); the grouping number field of these records can also be cleared through [Unmark].

[0211] 2) Select - Batch Selection: Select certain documents with the same attributes as the same batch according to certain rules for merging into one voucher for generation; the so-called same attributes can be determined during batch selection, such as according to document date, business association number, source organization, etc.

[0212] 3) Select - Inverse Selection: For the temporary documents retrieved, if it is found that the selected documents are not what is wanted, while the unselected documents are the ones to be processed currently, the inverse selection function can be executed.

[0213] 4) Select - Merge: Change the grouping numbers of all the selected documents to the same for merging into one voucher for generation.

[0214] 5) Generate - Generate at Front End: After clicking this button, if it is a single voucher, directly switch to the voucher generation card interface, where the content of the voucher can be modified and saved as a formal voucher; if multiple vouchers are generated, first go to the voucher list interface, where you can select each one and switch to the detailed content interface for modification and saving.

[0215] 6) Generate - Background Generation: After executing this button, the official voucher will be generated directly based on the group number without any further manual intervention.

[0216] 7) Generate - Summary Generation: For documents in inventory accounting systems that support summary generation, the documents to be summarized can be queried and the summary generation can be performed to create temporary documents.

[0217] 8) Pull-to-retrieve data: If the target is a cost document or a responsibility voucher, you need to use this button to retrieve the voucher data from the source party, and then use the conversion template to generate the voucher for the destination party.

[0218] 9) Recalculation: If the generated temporary voucher is not the desired one, the conversion template needs to be modified. After modification, a recalculation function is performed for that document (transaction) type, that is, the temporary message of the document is re-matched according to the modified conversion template to generate a new temporary destination voucher.

[0219] 10) Joint investigation: This is divided into joint investigation source and joint investigation target. Joint investigation source refers to joint investigation of upstream documents, and joint investigation target refers to joint investigation of downstream documents.

[0220] 11) Options—Merge Rules: Define and save the merging scheme; once a default scheme is set, it can be invoked when merging multiple temporary vouchers into a single formal voucher. It can also be referenced by conversion templates defined by business units, and merging will occur when generating temporary vouchers.

[0221] 12) Options—Control Conditions: Sets which content on temporary vouchers can be modified and which cannot be modified when temporary vouchers are merged to generate formal vouchers.

[0222] Precautions:

[0223] 1) Temporary vouchers should be deleted with caution, because once a temporary voucher is deleted, it can only be regenerated after the business document has been rejected and then reviewed again.

[0224] 2) In the recalculation, the "Re-entry Rules" option cannot be selected in the multi-ledger accounting mode if accounting vouchers have been generated in some entity ledgers but not in others for the same business document.

[0225] 3) The first column in the voucher generation column is the grouping column, which is mainly used to fill in the serial number of the generated voucher. If the serial numbers are not repeated, one document corresponds to one voucher. If several documents have the same serial number, then the documents with the same serial number will be merged to generate one voucher.

[0226] 4) If a formal voucher has already been generated and subsequent operations have been performed, such as voucher signing or reconciliation, the generation status cannot be canceled.

[0227] 5) After the control conditions are modified, the real-time vouchers need to be recalculated for them to take effect.

[0228] 6) When querying, selecting a business module is equivalent to selecting all document types and transaction types designed for that module. Selecting a document type is equivalent to selecting all transaction types under that document type.

[0229] 7) Both the query results interface for ungenerated vouchers and the query results interface for generated vouchers support double-clicking to sort columns.

[0230] 1.11 Platform Log

[0231] Platform log management is the display and processing of information when errors occur during the generation of real-time vouchers and accounting vouchers from information transmitted from business documents of various systems.

[0232] Main fields;

[0233] 1) Target organization: Which organization's credentials are generated?

[0234] 2) Generation objective: Generate general ledger vouchers or responsibility vouchers.

[0235] 3) Ledgers - Financial Accounting Ledgers: Vouchers for generating the accounting ledgers of the target organization.

[0236] 4) Group number: Group the records.

[0237] 5) Source organization: Which organization's business documents were transferred from to record the business.

[0238] 6) Source document: Which business document from which source organization the business record was transmitted.

[0239] 7) Source User: Which user from the source organization transmitted the business record.

[0240] 8) Processing Status: There are two states: Executing and Suspended Execution. The system defaults to Executing. Executing indicates that the system is still processing the erroneous business transaction, but cannot generate real-time vouchers. Suspended Execution indicates that the system has temporarily stopped processing the erroneous business transaction. Only when the system is in the Executing state can the generation of formal / temporary vouchers or documents be performed.

[0241] 9) Processing Messages: This section displays errors that occurred during the document's execution process. Operators can use this information to identify and correct the errors.

[0242] Important Notes: Log entries in the "Executing" state cannot be deleted; only log entries in the "Paused" state can be selected for deletion. Log entries only provide information about document execution, not the specific business operations performed on the document.

[0243] 1.12 Basic File Conversion

[0244] In group enterprises, due to business and management needs, there are many business connections between business units and between upper and lower-level business units, such as internal transactions and the allocation of expenses in different business units. This results in the need to generate vouchers for the same document in different business units, and it is necessary to establish a conversion relationship between the basic files of two different business units.

[0245] Main fields:

[0246] 1) File entity to be converted: The file that needs to be converted between the two business units. This file entity is used in both business units.

[0247] 2) Source coding rule: When an archive entity is transferred from business unit A to business unit B, the encoding of the archive entity in unit A is the source coding rule.

[0248] 3) Target coding rule: When a file entity is transferred from business unit A to another business unit B, the coding of the file entity in unit B is the target coding rule.

[0249] Note: This version only supports setting basic file conversion relationships based on encoding.

[0250] 1.13 Equation Editor

[0251] In the accounting platform, all configuration work is aimed at converting business data into financial data. In these configuration work, the conditional filtering function is needed to determine which business documents are converted into which vouchers.

[0252] The function used to set filtering conditions is called the formula editor in the accounting platform.

[0253] The formula editor allows you to set various flexible filtering conditions based on document items, metadata, or fixed values. It is primarily used for setting filtering conditions on the platform, as well as for formula-based accounting rules and conversion templates.

[0254] Main operations:

[0255] 1) If you want to directly retrieve a field from a document, you can select the document item or metadata tab, find the corresponding field, double-click to write the variable into the edit box, and then confirm.

[0256] 2) To retrieve a fixed value, select the Fixed Value tab, choose the file type through the metadata entity, select the specific value, and confirm to write the variable into the edit box.

[0257] 3) If you are not directly retrieving fields from the document, nor are you directly retrieving fixed values, then you need to use a function to convert them.

[0258] 4) The accounting platform provides corresponding conversion functions for use. Specific function descriptions are as follows:

[0259] a. `convertDoc(file type, corresponding document fields)`: This function converts basic files based on a template-related conversion scheme. It's generally used for organization-level files when generating vouchers or documents across organizations. For example, when Company A's expense report needs to generate a voucher for Company B, if the income and expense items filled in by Company A are different from those of Company B but have a corresponding relationship, then the `convertDoc` function and the basic file conversion functionality are needed. If the expense-bearing company and department filled in on Company A's expense report are directly in Company B's file, then no conversion is needed, and the `convertDoc` function and basic file conversion are not required.

[0260] Note: If the template does not reference a conversion scheme, it will default to conversion based on the same encoding.

[0261] b. `getaccountbook(financial organization, ledger type)`: Retrieves the financial accounting ledger based on the financial organization and ledger type. Returns null if the financial organization does not have an accounting ledger of the specified type enabled.

[0262] c. getdefaultaccountbook(business unit): Retrieves the main financial accounting book to which the business unit belongs. That is, if the business unit is a financial organization and has established a financial accounting book, it returns the main financial book corresponding to the organization; otherwise, it returns the main financial book of the company to which the business unit belongs.

[0263] d. `getmainaccountbook(Financial Organization)`: Retrieves the main accounting book based on the financial organization. Returns null if the financial organization does not have an accounting book enabled.

[0264] e. getliabilitybook (profit center): Retrieve the responsibility accounting book activated by the profit center.

[0265] f. `getliabilitybook(profit center, ledger type)`: Retrieves the responsibility accounting ledger based on the profit center and ledger type. Returns null if the profit center does not have an accounting ledger of the specified ledger type enabled.

[0266] g. `getexchangerate(source currency primary key, destination currency primary key, date)`: This function retrieves the exchange rate based on the source currency, destination currency, and date.

[0267] Note: The exchange rate used is the one adopted by the target organization.

[0268] 5) After editing the formula, you can check whether the formula is written correctly by clicking the "Verify" button.

[0269] 6) If the edited formula is not needed, you can use the "Clear" button to remove all the edited content.

[0270] Precautions:

[0271] 1) When defining a formula, if you manually enter a string in the formula box, you must enclose the string in double quotes.

[0272] 2) When retrieving document items using formula definitions in the accounting platform, document items are displayed separately in the header and body, making it difficult to select many items together; you can locate them by right-clicking the header.

[0273] 3) If multiple formulas are nested, they should be defined in the following form: a->getcolvalue(...); b->getcolvalue(...a); c->getcolvalue(...b).

[0274] Data output layer: The data output layer mainly consists of generated financial vouchers and financial statements.

[0275] Financial vouchers: Record the generated financial vouchers for financial users to view and modify.

[0276] Trial Balance: Statistical analysis of financial documents to generate a trial balance of accounts in the financial system;

[0277] Supplementary Balance Sheet: Statistical analysis of supplementary information to generate supplementary financial balance reports;

[0278] Auxiliary detailed report: Statistical analysis of auxiliary information and log information to generate a financial auxiliary balance report with business-related information.

[0279] Therefore, this invention provides a complete financial accounting system. By setting rules and maintaining basic data, it forms a service platform that can automatically perform financial accounting, voucher generation, cash flow analysis, and statement generation. Based on the flexible configuration of the relationship between accounts, auxiliary data, and accounting items, financial data of any dimension can be queried and collected from the data layer.
