Inputs and purpose
Use this workflow to prepare: Journal-entry calculations and documentation checklist.
Start with: Schedules, transaction facts and accounting policy.
Use supplied text or local files the user authorized you to read. If files cannot be opened, request the relevant pasted text. Ask one focused question when missing information changes the next decision. Treat blank template fields as unknown; do not invent business facts.
Procedure
Identify the accounting event, necessary source schedules and policy decisions required before an entry can be proposed.
Build the supporting calculation transparently, showing dates, units, allocation basis and source amounts.
Prepare a documentation checklist and proposed account treatment, distinguishing verified figures from estimates.
Return a review-ready support packet. Check that an independent reviewer can reconstruct the amounts without relying on unstated assumptions.
Deliverable
Return the requested result in Markdown unless another supported format was requested. Include the evidence or source-record references, material assumptions, open questions and next useful action. Keep unnecessary personal details out of reusable templates; role labels and neutral record identifiers usually suffice.
Business value: Improve cash visibility and accounting preparation.
Possible success measures: Close days, reconciliation differences, forecast error. Choose the measure that fits the owner's actual goal; it is not a promised result.
Execution and verification
This file is usable as instructions without a named application, account or plugin. Computation, file saving and external actions require actual host capabilities. Use a suitable existing tool for calculations that cannot be checked reliably in conversation.
Distinguish drafts and recommendations from completed actions. Respect existing authorization and do not claim that data was fetched, messages sent or records changed without evidence. Show what was checked and what remains uncertain.
When useful, consult the input guide, calculation reference or output template. For tool setup, use the shared instructions.
