Abstract
In some embodiments, a method includes: generating entries for at least one cost plan, each of the entries including a planned amount and a descriptor, wherein the descriptor identifies a general ledger account. In some embodiments, a method includes: generating postings for at least one ledger, each of the postings including an actual amount, a first descriptor and a second descriptor, wherein the first descriptor identifies a general ledger account and wherein the second descriptor identifies a general ledger account.
Claims35
A method comprising:
- generating entries for at least one cost plan, each of the entries including a planned amount and a descriptor;
- and
- generating postings for an accounting document, each of the postings including an actual amount and a descriptor;
- wherein generating postings for the accounting document comprises:
- receiving first information;
- generating a classification for one of the postings based at least in part on the first information and a first mapping
- generating the descriptor for one of the postings based at least in part on the classification and a second mapping;
- and
- wherein generating entries for the at least one cost plan comprises:
- receiving second information;
- generating a classification for one of the entries based at least in part on the second information and a third mapping;
- and
- generating the descriptor for one of the entries based at least in part on the second mapping and the classification for the one of the entries.
