Once a trading period has been completed and submitted for approval, the next step is integration and export — the process of posting the reconciled data to your accounting platform and making the journal entries available for your finance team.
Best Practice — Integrate After Approval
It is strongly recommended that a trading period is only integrated and locked once it has reached Completed for Approval status and has been reviewed by a Manager. Integrating a period before reconciliation is complete risks posting incorrect or incomplete data to your accounting platform — which creates additional work for your finance team to identify and correct.
How to Integrate a Trading Period
Once a trading period is ready, an Admin or Manager can integrate it by either:
Changing the reconciliation status to Approved and Integrated, or
Clicking the Integrate button directly within the trading period
Once integrated, the reconciliation data is posted to your connected accounting platform via the configured GL account assignments. The period can then be moved to Locked by an Admin, confirming that no further changes can be made.
