Purpose
1. Automate reconciliation of bank and sales records to ensure all livestock transactions are accurately matched, discrepancies are flagged, and financial statements are promptly updated without manual intervention.
2. Automating ensures seamless cash flow tracking, error reduction, eliminates duplication, accelerates audit readiness, and maintains compliance for livestock dealer operations.
3. Automation connects financial data streams between livestock sales platforms and banking APIs for real-time, rule-based reconciliation and reporting.
Trigger Conditions
1. Automated reconciliation initiates when a new bank transaction is posted or when a livestock sale is finalized in the sales ledger.
2. Triggered by scheduled batch jobs (e.g., daily or weekly) or via webhook upon data entry or import.
3. Discrepancy detection triggers automated alerts and follow-ups.
4. Synchronization triggers on detecting data updates or successful file uploads (e.g., CSV, Excel).
