Buyer guide / Product and accounting change

How can you change accounting treatment without rewriting product code?

Keep the business event contract separate from its accounting treatment. Define the treatment in a reviewable template and test the expected entries before enabling it. Product systems supply the facts that the selected treatment needs.

Make the change reviewable by finance

A new fee or product variation can affect several accounts. When the treatment is explicit, finance can review the entries rather than reconstruct logic scattered across product code and reporting jobs. Start with a worked transaction and identify which inputs already exist and which need an integration change.

The Ledger Rocket approach

Ledger Rocket has lifecycle-managed accounting templates that declare required event data, validations and posting legs. Event processing evaluates the selected templates against the configured account and ledger context. A newly accepted event’s posting set succeeds or fails together. The set can span ledgers, while each individual transfer stays within one ledger.

Work through these cases

  • Compare expected and derived entries for new events under the selected template revision. Test correction of an earlier posting separately from the new treatment.
  • Omit a required field and verify rejection.
  • Review who can change and enable the template in the intended deployment.

Discuss your flow

Bring one proposed accounting change with expected debit and credit entries. Use a normal case and a rejection case to agree the template and any additional source-data work.
