Payments
What is about to happen
A vendor bank update is about to flow into a payment run.
What Tegrix forces first
Finance can stop cash movement until authority, support, and timing are clear.
Finance & Accounting
AI agents are starting to prepare journals, reconcile accounts, update vendors, draft forecasts, and move close work forward. Finance policies were written for people handing work to other people.
Tegrix applies those controls before agent-prepared work reaches the ERP, bank portal, close tool, reporting package, or planning model. Your systems stay the record. Tegrix keeps why Finance allowed, held, sent back, or blocked the action.
Before the action Finance sees work before it posts, pays, publishes, or updates.
Using your controls Approval paths, tie-outs, support rules, and reviewer duties still govern.
After the result The Finance decision stays with the ERP, bank, close, reporting, or planning outcome.
Agent-prepared finance work
Bank-account change inside today’s payment run
Debt covenant footnote changed after tie-out
Material accrual submitted after the package went out
Control decision
The payment file is ready, but the vendor bank details changed and the approval trail is incomplete.
Outcome
Cash does not move. The bank portal remains the payment record. Tegrix keeps the reason Finance stopped it.
Where control breaks
Agent-prepared work can arrive from a spreadsheet, ticket, chat, close task, or scheduled automation. The risk is the same: the official system records the result, but the control decision happened somewhere else.

What Tegrix forces first

What is about to happen
A material accrual appears after reporting has already moved forward.
What Tegrix forces first
The Controller can send it back before the ERP records it.
What is about to happen
A disclosure, covenant schedule, forecast driver, or board-pack number changes.
What Tegrix forces first
The reviewer sees the tie-out before the number is published or reused.
This is not a new close system, payment system, or planning system. It is the missing control point before those systems accept agent-prepared work.
Accounting example
An agent prepares a $2.4M accrual after the reporting package has gone out. The support is incomplete. A similar entry already posted earlier in the period.
Before the ERP records it, Tegrix stops the action and shows the Controller why: closed period, material amount, protected account, missing memo, possible duplicate.
Example packet
Why Finance holds it
Control point
Finance should not discover missing support after an entry posts or cash moves. Tegrix checks the finance rule before the action reaches the system of record.
The period is closed and the reporting package has gone out. Controller approval is required before the entry can continue.
The bank-account change and payment release do not match the approved authority path.
The disclosure or board-pack change must tie back to the ledger, consolidation file, or approved source schedule.
The action has no invoice, schedule, memo, ticket, or approval attached.
The requester, preparer, or service identity cannot also satisfy the required Finance review.
Audit sample
The evidence is not a screenshot hunt across tools. Finance can show what the agent attempted, which control applied, who made the call, what support existed, and what happened in the official system.
What remains after the decision
Where Tegrix fits
Not after the fact. Not as another place to close the books. Tegrix is the control point for agent-prepared finance work before official systems are allowed to change.
Tegrix sees agent-prepared finance work before it reaches the system that can make it official.
Tegrix applies the approval paths, close rules, tie-outs, support requirements, and reviewer duties Finance already owns.
Tegrix keeps the Finance call with the support used and the final result in the official system.
Source of truth
Tegrix does not create another ledger, payment record, close checklist, reporting package, or planning model. It controls whether agent-prepared work is allowed to change those records.
Transaction, posting status, document number, account, company code, and period.
Close tasks, reconciliations, reporting packages, disclosure support, and tie-outs.
Forecasts, scenarios, drivers, board-pack inputs, and approved planning assumptions.
Payment release, bank-side status, payment files, and settlement details.
Approval authority, materiality, support, segregation of duties, and review requirements.
The Finance control decision before agent-prepared work changes those systems.
First step
A vendor bank change. A post-close entry. A reporting tie-out. Tegrix shows whether Finance should allow it before the system records it.
