Move commercial records into finance cleanly
How we help
An order total rarely tells finance the whole story. Discounts, delivery charges, taxes, partial refunds and marketplace fees may arrive in different records or periods, making a simple sales export difficult to post and explain.
BrownBag works with your finance and operations owners to map the required transactions and identifiers. We implement the supported API or file-exchange route, validate representative documents and provide an exception process for records that cannot be accepted. Accounting classifications and posting policy are agreed with your finance team.

How the work is handled
Define documents and posting rules
Identify sales, purchase and inventory records in scope. Agree customer, product, account and tax-code mappings, document dates, currencies and the treatment of discounts and adjustments.
Build the accepted exchange
Connect the approved interfaces or structured imports. Preserve source references, prevent duplicate postings and separate rejected records from transactions that the receiving system has accepted.
Reconcile with finance
Check sample invoices, refunds and inventory movements against their source records. Review totals and period boundaries, then document correction, rerun and approval responsibilities for the finance team.

Your questions, answered
Can an older accounting system be connected?
We review its supported import, export or API options first. A controlled file exchange may be more practical than a live connection, particularly when the application needs a finance approval before posting.
Can you decide how transactions should be accounted for?
Your finance team sets the accounting policy and approves classifications. BrownBag implements those agreed mappings and helps make the source records, exceptions and reconciliation checks usable.
