GL Account Coding Assistant Copy link
Plugin: Blitz Report Excel Add-in Skills (
br-gl-account-coder)Works with: Claude in Excel, Microsoft 365 Copilot in Excel
Updates EBS creates or updates Oracle EBS data through Blitz Uploads, only after your confirmation
Suggest GL account coding from the ledger's own history: given transactions to code (or re-code), mine GL Account Analysis for how this entity has historically coded the same supplier, source, category or description, and propose the account combination with a confidence level and the precedent shown. Optionally stage approved corrections as a journal via the GL Journal Upload — only on explicit user confirmation.
When to use it
- Use when the user asks "which account should this go to", wants miscoding candidates found, or needs a reclass journal drafted.
- Recommend-first; WRITES to Oracle EBS only via the gated journal step.
- Download the skill zip. br-gl-account-coder.zip
- In Claude in Excel open Customize > Skills > Create skill and upload the zip.
- Connect the Blitz Report Excel add-in to your Oracle EBS instance, then ask Claude for the task in your own words.
- Download the skill folder from GitHub. br-gl-account-coder
- Copy the folder into Documents/Copilot/Microsoft Excel/Skills in your OneDrive.
- Open Excel with the Blitz Report add-in connected and ask Copilot for the task.
- Add the Enginatics marketplace in Claude Code.
/plugin marketplace add enginatics/ai-skills - Install the Excel add-in skills plugin.
/plugin install blitz-report-excel-addin-ai-skills@enginatics - Run the setup skill; it installs or updates the skills in Claude in Excel or Microsoft 365 Copilot in Excel.
/blitz-report-excel-addin-ai-skills:excel-skills-setup
Requirements: Blitz Report and the Blitz Report Excel add-in, connected to your Oracle EBS instance, plus Claude in Excel or Microsoft 365 Copilot in Excel.
🚨 Blitz data = Excel worksheet UDFs, not MCP tools/connectors. Extract data only by writing
=br_...()into a cell (viaexecute_office_js) and reading the spill — nevertool_searchforbr_*, neverrefresh_mcp_connectors, and never conclude "no Oracle EBS / Blitz connector is set up" (the Blitz Report add-in is an Excel add-in, not an MCP connector, so it never appears in the connector list — its absence there is expected). Load the extraction mechanism first:read_skill("br-run-reports").Performance: read
br-analytics-standardsat the start of every run. For the optional journal step, readbr-run-uploadsFIRST.
When to use
"What account does this belong to", "find likely miscodings in period X", "draft the reclass journal for these", "how do we normally code invoices from supplier Y". This is a COMPANION to the accountant, not an auto-coder: every suggestion shows its precedent, and nothing posts without a human.
Inputs
- Ledger (required) and Period / date range for the history mine — ask if not supplied.
- What to code — rows the user supplies (a pasted list, another report's output) OR a scope to scan for miscoding candidates (an account, a source, a supplier).
Reports and uploads used (authoritative names — do NOT broad-search for them)
| Name | Type | Role |
|---|---|---|
GL Account Analysis | Report | the history mine — account combinations by source, category, description and subledger detail |
GL Journals | Report | journal-level context when a candidate needs its origin checked |
GL Journal Upload | Upload | write path — the staged reclass/correction journal |
Pass the exact names; fall back to a search only on #BLITZ_REPORT_NOT_FOUND.
Workflow
- Mine the history: run
GL Account Analysisfor the ledger/period scope (restrict by source or account range where the user gave one — never wide open, per br-run-reports). - Build the precedent table in-sheet: for each (supplier / source / category / normalized description keyword) → the account combinations historically used, with frequency and recency.
- Suggest: for each row to code, the best-precedent combination with a confidence class — STRONG (one dominant precedent, ≥90% of history), SPLIT (two+ combinations in real use — show both and the discriminator, e.g. "freight goes to 5230 for org A but 5240 for org B"), NONE (no usable precedent — say so; never invent an account). Show the precedent rows that justify each suggestion.
- Miscoding scan mode: rows whose coded account contradicts a STRONG precedent are flagged as candidates, ranked by amount, with the precedent shown. These are candidates for review — never assert "wrong", the precedent may be the thing that changed.
- Stage the journal (optional, gated): only when the user explicitly approves specific
corrections — build the reclass in the
GL Journal Uploadgrid (balanced Dr/Cr per line, the user's period and category), validate, show journal totals and line count, submit only on a second explicit confirmation. The journal still routes through the customer's normal GL approval/posting flow — say that.
Hard rules
- Never suggest an account with no precedent in this ledger's own history. No generic chart-of- accounts knowledge substitutes for the entity's actual practice.
- Cross-validated combinations only: a suggested combination must exist in history — never compose a novel segment mix.
- Confidence comes from precedent counts, not from the model's certainty.
Degradation rules
- Thin history for the scope → say the mine is thin and widen the period only with the user's OK.
- Cost-center-dependent codings (SPLIT class) that the user cannot discriminate → leave uncoded with both options shown, never pick silently.
Talk in the user's language
"Post a reclass journal of $84,300 across 12 lines to period MAY-26?" — accounts, amounts,
periods; never br_* functions or helper sheets.
