Workflows for your business

Scope to review with your team

  • DeepERP is the back-office ERP around the core banking system: loans, shares and deposits, interest and member accounts stay in the core, which sends its daily GL summary to DeepERP.
  • Core codes nobody mapped yet post to the suspense account and are listed on the batch; the suspense balance is cleared every month end.
  • From the dual-control amount a supplier bill needs two approvals; payment runs are always approved with the step-up code.
