Overview

This review helps you identify transactions that appear after a long period of inactivity for an account, vendor, or customer. These entries may be valid, but they stand out because they break normal posting patterns and therefore require review.


Enable the Review Point

If the review point is not already added:

1. Click New

2. Click Task/review Point and Select Unusual Entries from the library

3. Click Add

If it is already added, simply click on the review point to open it.

How to Interpret the Review Results

When you open this review:

· You’ll see transactions recorded after a long gap of inactivity

· The gap may relate to an account, vendor, or customer

· These transactions are flagged because they are outside normal posting behavior

For example, if the last transaction in the Legal and Professional Services account was recorded on 6/11/2020 and a new entry appears on 8/10/2021, Xenett will flag it as unusual due to the long interval.

If a transaction appears here, it does not mean it is incorrect—it simply means it should be reviewed.


Recommended Actions

Based on the review results, you can:

· Review the transaction details for accuracy

· Confirm the account, vendor, or customer is correct

· Make corrections if the transaction is miscoded

· Mark the transaction as reviewed if it is valid
