2. Reporting

The ‘Reporting’ feature allows users to generate, validate and publish financial reports.

2.1 Reports

The ‘Reports’ functionality enables the user to create manually, or automatically generate financial reports, based on published accounting transactions. The reports will be defined through user generated templates, which will be made available in the application. These templates will reflect the needed reporting standards and formats required by the organisation.

Reports parameters:

• Period (accounting period) to which the data reports
• Template ID (the template to be used for the report generation)
• dataMode (SYSTEM or USER) - depending if the data should be automatically generated from the system or manually input by the user.

Automated report generation Reeve automatically generate the selected report using transactions data from transactions published on the blockchain

Manual generation The report is input manually by the user and validated by the application using transactions data from transactions published on the blockchain

Validation Rules Validation rules can be defined in the report template itself. These gives flexibility and provides basic validations based on fields within the template. For example it is possible to verifiy if a total field matches the sum of other total fields.

Reports Status and Editing

• Pending: If validation fails, the report can be saved with a ‘Pending’ status. The user can view and edit the report at any time to correct the identified discrepancies. The report cannot be published until all validation checks pass.
• Ready to Publish: If validation passes, the report is saved with a ‘Ready to Publish’ status. The user can still view and edit the report before publishing.

At any time before publishing the reports they can be viewed and edited.

2.2 Publish

The ‘publish’ feature allows authorized users with higher privileges to securely dispatch validated financial reports to be published to the Cardano blockchain,

Note: The Reporting feature allows for the publication of multiple versions of the same report. This flexibility supports scenarios where minor adjustments or re-validations occur over time. While multiple versions can exist on the blockchain, the application will always make the latest published version of any given report automatically available for viewing in the dashboard and report lists, ensuring users consistently access the most current and accurate financial snapshot.

2.3 All Reports

The ‘All Reports’ feature provides a centralized list of all reports saved within Reeve. This allows users to monitor the status of each created report at any given moment.
