ACCOUNT TRANSACTION STATES AND POSTING
In sharedo Financial transaction work types such as Payments, Invoices and the like will be managed through their Phases like any other work type. For example, a phase model for a Payment might look like this
For each transaction type (Payments, Receipts etc) you specify at what work type phase the transaction will record case accounting transactions and the state of that transaction; available states are as follows
- Draft – transaction is created in a draft status and is subject to change
- WIP – account transaction is marked as Work in Progress and can be visualised
- Posted – account transaction is posted to the case ledger; this transaction will not be changed.
- Reversed – account transaction is reversed from the ledger. When a transaction is reversed the original transaction will remain and a “negative” transaction will be raised to reverse it.
In the Chart of Accounts Work Type Configuration sub feature expand the subfeatures section
Within this section you can then configure which phase will record the relevant transaction states.
Sharedo will uses these transaction phases to control what transactions are shown in specific visualisations. In addition, you will often use these phases when integrating with external finance systems.
