PBS Accounts
Accounting workflow as a standalone system - the ledger, statement and reconciliation work that the operational products currently each do for themselves.
In development. PBS Accounts is not available yet.
Nothing is deployed, there is nothing to sign up to and nothing to buy, and we
are not going to give you a date we have not committed to. It is here because
a portfolio that shows only the finished things is not a portfolio. Where each
of our products stands is stated plainly.
The job it does
Not bookkeeping. The part of accounts work that is nobody's favourite
afternoon: a supplier sends a statement, and somebody has to decide whether
it agrees with what you think you owe.
A statement, taken in and read
The statement is read line by line — invoice numbers, ticket references,
dates and amounts. What could not be read is reported as unread rather
than dropped, because a line that quietly disappears is the one that
costs you.
Matched to a supplier, or refused
Matching is supplier-first, and it will not attach a statement
automatically when the account reference and the printed name point at
different suppliers. It says exact, closest, conflict or no match, and a
person decides. Guessing here is how one supplier's money ends up against
another's account.
The arithmetic checked, not assumed
A running balance that does not follow from the line before it is a
finding. So is a closing balance the supplier printed that their own rows
do not reach. Both are surfaced rather than reconciled away.
Reviewed, corrected, approved — by a person
Lines are confirmed, corrected or queried, and who did each and when is
kept with the line. The approval is somebody's, and the record says whose.
How far along it actually is
Stated as measurement rather than as a claim, because the honest answer is
more useful to you than an optimistic one.
What has been proved
The whole operator job — a statement opened, reviewed and approved, and
the approved result exported — is driven over a real network socket in the
test suite rather than by calling functions, and the phone layout is
measured rather than assumed. It stands up in one command on a developer's
machine.
What is not done
It is not deployed and there is no address to send you to. It is not a
general ledger and it is not a bookkeeping package. Ten of its sixteen
requirement rows are still blocked. When that changes, this page will say
so — and the change will be a deployment, not a rewrite of this paragraph.
It is being extracted from work already running inside SiteLedger rather than
restarted from a blank page, and the products it comes from keep their own
financial workflows when it lands. Extraction is addition, not subtraction.
If this is the problem you have
There is nothing to sign up to, so this is genuinely just a conversation.
Tell us how your supplier statements arrive and where they currently go
wrong, and we will tell you honestly whether this will help and when.
