Accounting Export

Not every partner organization will be ready or willing to grant API access to their accounting system, especially in early adoption phases or where IT change processes are slow. A file-based export gives those organizations the same productivity gain - moving approved reimbursements out of Meander and into the accounting system in one step - without the procurement, security review, and credential exchange that live integration requires. It also acts as a fallback path: if the live API integration fails or is temporarily unavailable, finance teams can still close their accounting period using the export, protecting the payout cycle for peer mentors and avoiding a regression to manual re-keying.

The Accounting Export Page presents a date range and organization scope selector, runs a query against approved reimbursements joined with expense type and ledger mapping configuration, and produces a downloadable artifact through the Accounting Export Service. Format selection is driven by the same accounting system mapping configured for the Accounting API so both surfaces stay consistent. Generated files are streamed to the client and not persisted by default, with optional retention for audit purposes; every export action is recorded in the org's audit log including the exporting admin, date range, and row count to support finance reconciliation.
