Create balanced entries
Journal Entry Controls focuses on journal entry creation, edits, deletes, evidence, balancing, and review routines. In AWRA, finance control works best when operational activity, accounting records, tax treatment, approvals, attachments, and reports stay connected.
The practical goal is trust. Finance users should know where a number came from, which source module created it, who reviewed it, and what evidence supports the balance, tax, payment, budget, or close decision.
In practice, a finance user posts a manual correction, attaches support, balances debit and credit lines, and sends the entry for review before close.

Finance model
- Finance reports should trace back to source records and review decisions.
- Tax, budget, and accounting setup choices affect many downstream reports.
- Attachments and review notes make balances defensible during audit or close.
- Exceptions should be owned before they become reporting noise.
