Before you beginThis guide follows Accounting and Bookkeeping module version 1.4.5. The required access is Accounting Transactions: View and relevant manage permission. A related screen can remain hidden when an optional module is inactive, a source record is in an ineligible status, the selected account is inactive or the user is not an assigned approver.

What this feature does

Create accounting entries from manual, imported and automatically generated CRM expenses. It forms part of Britixo Enterprise CRM's Accounting & Bookkeeping module and uses the module's permission-aware controller, status and mapping flow rather than a generic spreadsheet process.

How the module flow works

The module listens to expense add, import, recurring generation, update and delete events. This means imported and recurring expenses can enter the same accounting flow as manually entered expenses.

Category mapping usually controls the debit classification; payment mode controls the credit side, with tax lines added as configured.

Billable or customer-linked flags do not replace the accounting classification. If the expense is later invoiced to a customer, the new sales invoice is a separate event.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Open the Expenses transaction tab.
  2. Locate the expense by date, category, supplier or reference.
  3. Confirm amount, tax, category and payment mode.
  4. Review active mappings.
  5. Convert or confirm automatic conversion.
  6. Open the accounting lines and compare to the source total.
  7. If recurring, verify only the generated occurrence was converted.

Important fields and decisions

Expense categorySelects the mapped expense account.
Payment modeSelects bank, cash, card or clearing account.
Expense dateDetermines the period.
TaxUses the configured purchase-tax mapping.
Recurring sourceGenerated expenses are separate records and must not be duplicated manually.
ReceiptSupports audit evidence but does not determine the mapping.

What happens after completion

After the action is saved, Britixo keeps the Accounting record connected to its source and updates the visible status or ledger data supported by this workflow. Review the saved result rather than relying only on a success message. Where the action posts accounting data, total debits and credits must balance and the accounts must match the approved mapping or manual selection.

  • Open the saved record and confirm its final status.
  • Review the source reference and every debit and credit line where ledger data was created.
  • Use the relevant register, ageing, reconciliation or report to verify the wider effect.

Controls, checks and common mistakes

  • Do not convert a deleted or rejected expense.
  • Avoid mapping capital assets to ordinary expense accounts.
  • Check imported category values.
  • Attach or retain the source receipt.
  • Use the least destructive correction available and record the reason for material changes.
  • Do not bypass a permission, approval or closed-period control by changing unrelated data.
Accounting and data safetyDeletion, reset, void, refund, mapping, journal and reconciliation actions can change financial history. Use approved access, retain supporting evidence and validate the result in the General Ledger or relevant control report.
