Pleo does not manage or assign accounting periods. Each Export Item includes a transaction date, which the integration must use to determine the appropriate accounting period in the connected Accounting System.

​
Core Principle

Pleo provides:
  • The transaction date of the expense
The integration is responsible for:
  • Determining the correct accounting period
  • Handling closed periods
  • Applying any date adjustments required by the Accounting System

​
Period Determination

The integration must map the provided transaction date to an accounting period based on:
  • Accounting System period definitions
  • Fiscal or custom calendars
  • Period open/closed status
Pleo does not interpret or validate accounting periods.

​
Closed Period Handling

If an expense falls into a closed period, the integration must decide how to handle it. Typical approaches include:
  • Shifting the date to the next open period
  • Posting to a designated adjustment period
  • Rejecting the export and surfacing an error
Pleo does not modify or adjust transaction dates.

​
Custom Accounting Periods

Custom accounting structures are fully supported through the integration. The integration may assign expenses to:
  • Fiscal periods
  • Custom calendars
  • Non-monthly accounting structures
based on Accounting System rules.

​
Platform Behaviour

  • Transaction dates are always included in Export Items
  • No accounting period logic is applied by Pleo
  • No validation against Accounting System period rules is performed
  • Final period assignment occurs in the Accounting System via the integration
