Before you startThis guide follows Accounting and Bookkeeping module version 1.4.5. The required access is Accounting Reports: View and Transactions: View. 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 you’ll accomplish

Analyse converted CRM expenses, supplier bills and related financial statement impact through detailed and summary reports. It forms part of Pixie CRM 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 it works

Pixie CRM's core help centre also covers CRM expense creation and income reports. The Accounting module adds ledger classification, tax and payable context.

A direct paid expense normally affects an expense and payment account; a bill normally creates payable first and payment later.

Use source documents and mapped ledger lines together for complete review.

Follow these steps

Check the Expenses transaction group for conversion completeness.
Run Profit & Loss for the period.
Go to detail for material expense accounts.
Run Tax Detail for purchase tax.
Check Accounts Payable ageing for unpaid bills.
Compare project or class context where available.
Investigate differences against source receipts and bills.

Check it worked

After the action is saved, Pixie CRM 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.

Common mistakes to avoid

Do not combine direct expenses and unpaid bills without understanding timing.
Check cash versus accrual basis.
Check capital items.
Protect receipt and vendor data.
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.
