Introduction

Automatically mapping bank transactions to GL accounts reduces manual work, improves accuracy, and streamlines accounting. This template parses transaction data, applies mapping rules, and generates a categorized list for review or import.

⚠️ Before running this template

We recommend adding GL account mapping rules to the workflow context to ensure each transaction is accurately labeled.

How this template works

1. A Finance Agent reads the bank file and pulls out the date, description, amount, and direction.
2. The agent checks each transaction against your GL mapping rules.
3. The agent then compiles all results into a spreadsheet with the key details, assigned GL account, and match status.
