Accruals Settings (Admin Role)

Overview

Accruals in Brightflag help track work in progress (WIP) before invoices are submitted. As an Admin, you can configure cut-off dates for vendor submissions, manage time zones, and control accrual editing permissions.

Setting the Accruals Cut-Off Date (Vendor Submission Deadline)

The cut-off date determines the last day vendors can submit their monthly accruals (work in progress).

How to Set the Accruals Cut-Off Date:

1. Navigate to Accruals Settings in Brightflag.
2. Enter the cut-off date for each month using the date pickers.
3. The selected deadline means vendors can submit accruals until 23:59 in your company’s time zone on that date.
4. After the cut-off, you can begin reporting on accruals.

⚠️ Important:

• You can extend submission into the following month, but this will reduce submission time for that month.

Company Time zone Settings

Your company’s time zone determines when vendors are removed from submission access.

🔹 Key Points:

• Vendors are cut off at 23:59 in the selected company timezone (not their local timezone).
• This ensures you can run accrual reports starting 00:00 on the 1st of the month.
• Vendors receive reminders in emails and on the Accrual Submission Page with the correct deadline time.

Accrual Editing Permissions

You can control whether Admins can edit accruals after the cut-off date.

How to Enable Editing After the Cut-Off:

1. Go to Accruals Settings.
2. Locate the "Editing After Cut-Off" option.
3. Enable this setting to allow Admins to make changes after the review period has passed.

💡 Tip: Enabling this option ensures Admins can make corrections or updates even after the deadline has passed.
