Before you beginThis guide follows Accounting and Bookkeeping module version 1.4.5. The required access is Accounting Settings: View and Edit. 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

Connect CRM source records and optional modules to the correct debit and credit accounts before automatic conversion is enabled. 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 has dedicated table and save actions for tax, payment-mode, expense-category, item and item-group mappings, plus integration-specific setting screens.

Automatic conversion hooks use these mappings when invoices, payments, expenses, credit notes and supported module records change status.

When the same wrong account recurs, correct the mapping rather than manually editing every resulting transaction.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. List every transaction type the organisation uses.
  2. Open Mapping Setup and complete General mappings first.
  3. Map control accounts, income, expense, tax, cash and bank accounts.
  4. Complete active optional-module tabs.
  5. Save each mapping group and verify active status.
  6. Convert one controlled record from each source type.
  7. Inspect the debit and credit lines and correct the mapping before broad automation.

Important fields and decisions

General mappingsCover sales invoices, payments, credit notes, refunds, expenses, taxes, payment modes, items and item groups.
Optional tabsPayslips, Purchase, Warehouse, Manufacturing, Omni Sales and Fixed Equipment appear when the related modules are active.
Active switchSpecific mappings can be enabled or disabled without deleting them.
Fallback accountA default may apply when a more specific mapping is absent, depending on the conversion path.

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

  • A saved mapping is not proof that the accounting treatment is correct.
  • Avoid mapping multiple unrelated transaction types to one account.
  • Keep deactivated accounts out of mappings.
  • Document changes that affect automatic conversion.
  • 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.
