Finance AI Feature

Data preparation AI that turns ERP exports into reporting-ready datasets.

Finance AI Workspace can work with summary-level trial balances directly, or use Data Preparation AI to reduce raw ERP exports into validated summary datasets before reporting.

Problem

What finance teams are trying to fix

Finance teams often receive ERP data at the wrong level of detail. Some exports are ready-to-use trial balances, while others contain millions of journal or invoice rows that are too detailed for monthly reporting, consolidation, or variance analysis.

Why it matters

Why this workflow deserves structure

The workspace should not force every customer through a heavy preparation step. Summary trial balances can move directly to Account Mapping AI, while raw ERP exports get prepared only when the data actually needs it.

Before / After

Typical results

Credible outcomes without hard promises.

Finance teams typically use Data Preparation AI to:

  • reduce transaction-level exports before reporting
  • validate source totals against prepared totals
  • publish reusable datasets
  • keep Monthly Close summary-data-first

How it works

A controlled workflow from source data to reviewed output.

Data quality validation

Lineage without permanent raw row storage

Published dataset lifecycle

Typical finance workflow

The real monthly process this feature is designed to support.

Step 1

Summary upload

A monthly trial balance with period, entity, account, amount, currency, and key dimensions skips Data Preparation AI and continues to Account Mapping AI.

Step 2

Raw ERP export

A transaction-level export with journal, voucher, or invoice rows triggers Data Preparation AI before reporting.

Step 3

Profiling

The system detects ERP, language, currency, dimensions, row count, source grain, and likely reporting fields.

Step 4

Aggregation

Raw data is reduced by month, entity, account, cost center, project, and selected dimensions.

Step 5

Validation

Totals, signs, fiscal periods, currencies, duplicate rows, and mapping handoff readiness are checked.

Step 6

Dataset publish

Only a published dataset feeds Monthly Close, Consolidation Lite, Variance Analysis, Estimate, and Management Pack.

FAQ

Common questions about Data Preparation AI.

Is Data Preparation AI required?

No. It is optional. If the upload is already a summary trial balance, the workspace can skip Data Preparation AI and continue directly to Account Mapping AI.

When is Data Preparation AI useful?

It is useful when a customer uploads transaction-level ERP exports, such as journal entries, voucher rows, invoice lines, or other detailed source data that should be aggregated before reporting.

Does Finance AI store every raw ERP row permanently?

The recommended architecture keeps raw files temporary in Cloud Storage and stores only metadata, lineage, validation results, mappings, and aggregated finance facts in Cloud SQL.
