Reversing Accruals Through ERP Integration
Reverses accruals at configurable times, either instantly or at the next period’s start, and updates the ERP system accordingly.
Key Features
Configurable reversal timing
Accruals can be reversed either right after the invoice is posted or all at once at the start of the next period, whatever suits the accounting process best.
Constant communication with invoice processing co-pilot
The Accruals Co-Pilot stays in sync with the Invoice Processing Co-Pilot to spot when an accrued item becomes a payable, helping trigger timely and accurate reversals.
Agentic AI-driven logic
The Co-Pilot figures out the right amount and timing for each reversal, even when invoices are only partially settled, so adjustments stay accurate and consistent.
Reversal entries posted via hyperbots connectors
Reversal entries are posted straight into the ERP using Hyperbots Connectors, keeping financials accurate and up to date, no manual steps needed.
Error handling and alerts
If something goes wrong, like a closed period or incorrect GL code, the Co-Pilot instantly flags it and alerts the right team, so issues can be resolved without delay.
Real-time visibility and audit trails
Finance teams can track every reversal as it happens, with detailed logs that make reviews and audits easier. This helps ensure accuracy, compliance, and smoother month-end processes.
KEY BENEFITS
Accruals Co-Pilot automates detection, posting, and reversal, wiping out month-end busywork; machine learning sharpens forecasts and audit trails; policy-aware configuration snaps into any ERP—cutting errors, risk, and workload in one stroke.

FAQs: Automated Reversal of Accruals
How does the Accruals Co-Pilot determine when to reverse an accrual?
The Co-Pilot continuously communicates with the Invoice Processing Co-Pilot, monitoring invoice statuses. Once an accrued expense is converted into an accounts payable entry (through invoice posting), the system automatically triggers a reversal, ensuring the books remain up-to-date.
Can we choose when and how reversals occur?
Yes. The Co-Pilot supports configurable timing options. You can opt for real-time reversals as soon as invoices are posted or batch reversals at the beginning of the next period, depending on your company’s accounting preferences.
How does the Co-Pilot handle partial reversals if the invoice amount differs from the accrual?
Leveraging its agentic AI, the Co-Pilot can process partial reversals by comparing the invoice amount to the original accrual. If fewer units or a lower amount is billed, it adjusts the accrual accordingly, ensuring accurate liability representation.
Is manual intervention required to post reversal entries in the ERP?
No. Using Hyperbots Connectors, the Co-Pilot automatically posts reversal journal entries directly into the ERP. This eliminates manual data entry and reduces the risk of errors or delays.
What happens if there’s an error during the reversal process?
If issues arise—like invalid GL references, closed periods, or system connectivity problems—the Co-Pilot immediately flags these errors, alerts the relevant teams, and provides detailed logs. This prompt notification enables quick resolution without disrupting the closing process.
How do we maintain an audit trail for accrual reversals?
The Co-Pilot creates a comprehensive audit record of every reversal, including timestamps, triggering events, and user or system actions. This ensures full transparency and makes audits, internal reviews, and compliance checks more efficient.
Does automated reversal improve the overall accuracy and timeliness of financial statements?
Absolutely. By updating the books in real-time as invoices are processed, and handling partial adjustments seamlessly, the Co-Pilot ensures that financial data remains accurate, current, and reflective of actual liabilities, ultimately enhancing the reliability of financial statements.
