Journal Reporting

The Journal Reporting feature forms part of Wisenet Finance, allowing for the effortless export of financial transaction data into formats compatible with major finance systems, including Xero and MYOB AccountRight

This feature generates a comprehensive transactional list based on the selected date range, drawing data from the Invoices, Credit Notes, Payments, and Refunds. The data is presented in a traditional T-account format (Debit and Credit), with one key difference: the tax component is not displayed on a separate row. Instead, it is shown under the Tax Type column (e.g., GST or GST Free), simplifying the report layout.

This process follows the same pathway as other financial data exports, accessible via the Data Export feature, ensuring consistency and ease of use for financial reporting and system integration.

Required Knowledge: Finances

Note: The journal reporting export feature only exports data captured within Wisenet Finance, including data integrated with our payment gateway partners, such as Stripe or PayGate.

Wisenet currently supports journal exports for MYOB and Xero. If you need a journal export for another finance system, please get in touch with our Customer Engagement team.

Reporting Settings for General Ledger (GL) Account Details

To ensure accurate financial tracking and integration, transfer the GL Account Details from Wisenet into your finance system for the following control accounts:

  1. Wisenet Accounts Receivable Account:
    Set up a dedicated Accounts Receivable account specifically for Wisenet, allowing a clear distinction between transactions processed in your finance system versus those handled by Wisenet.
    Note: The Aged Receivable report can only be generated within Wisenet, as the Wisenet debtor transactional data will not be duplicated in your finance system. Some finance systems do not support posting General Journals against control accounts i.e. Accounts Receivable.
  2. Bank Clearance Account:
    Use this account to transfer data related to funds received and recorded in Wisenet. It’s essential for bank account reconciliation within your finance system, ensuring that all Wisenet-captured transactions align with your bank’s records.
  3. Processing Fees Account:
    For users processing payments through Stripe or PayGate, this account transfers payment gateway fees into your finance system, allowing these expenses to be recorded and reconciled accurately.

By transferring these control account details into Wisenet, you will enable seamless financial data flow and reconciliation between Wisenet and your finance system.
