Post Journal Entries to clearing accounts

Use Workpaper Agent with Deposit Reconciliation when high-volume transactions need to be posted through a clearing account, resulting in imported transactions that can be posted to QuickBooks or Sage.

Workflow

Step 1

Open Deposit Reconciliations

Start in Truewind and add the Deposit Reconciliation account that will receive the Workpaper Agent output.

FAQ

What must be set up before importing from Workpaper Agent?

Create and map the clearing account in Deposit Reconciliation before importing the Workpaper Agent Journal Entry output.

What happens if the workbook is not in the expected format?

Workpaper Agent checks for a TW_Staging tab. If the tab is missing, Truewind can create the standardized staging tab before import.

Limitations

Uncertain mappings still require review

Truewind flags mappings it cannot match exactly in the ERP. Review and select the correct category, payee, or dimension before posting.

Posting behavior depends on the connected ERP

QuickBooks links can open the posted Journal Entry in the ERP. Sage users should confirm the Journal Entry reference number after posting.

Troubleshooting

The import review shows uncertain mappings.

Open each flagged mapping and choose the correct ERP value before running the final import.

Posted transactions do not show a Journal Entry link.

Confirm whether the client is connected to QuickBooks or Sage, then check the ERP posting status or Journal Entry reference for that system.
