Financial & Compliance AutomationsPurpose
1. Centralize financial data transfer between wholesale alternator suppliers and accounting systems to ensure compliance, reduce manual errors, and accelerate reconciliations.

3. Facilitate audit-readiness and integration with downstream reporting or tax compliance tools by maintaining consistent data flows.
4. Automate export scheduling, formatting (CSV, XML, JSON), and field mapping for complex item catalogs (electrical parts, alternators, cores).

1. New sales transaction, invoice or credit issued within ERP/POS.
2. Closure of daily, weekly, or monthly financial period.
3. Manual trigger by accounts team or automated schedule (cron).
4. Payment status update or posted to ledger.
