Campfire provides a structured workflow for handling journal entries from creation through to posting. It supports manual entries, imports from sub-ledgers or external systems, and automated journals generated within the platform. Each entry is validated before submission, checking that debits and credits balance, accounts are valid, and posting rules are followed. Supporting documents can be attached directly to each journal, creating a complete and self-contained record that simplifies review and audit processes.
Campfire routes journal entries through configurable approval workflows based on factors such as value, entry type, account category, or department. Approvers receive full visibility into each entry, including line items and attachments, before taking action. The system enforces segregation of duties by preventing users from approving their own work and recording every approval step. Custom validation rules ensure errors are identified early, helping maintain accuracy and consistency across all journal activity.
Campfire includes advanced search and filtering tools that allow teams to locate journal entries quickly using criteria such as account, date, user, amount, or status. Reporting features provide insight into posting volumes, approval times, and exception rates, helping controllers assess process performance. Journal data can be exported or integrated with reporting tools, supporting both internal analysis and external reporting requirements.
