Treasury Module
The Treasury Module is where you manage your company's money and books β bank and cash accounts, payables, receivables, petty cash, and the full accounting ledger (journals, financial statements, schedules, fixed and leased assets, tax, and configuration).
Overview
Open Treasury from the main sidebar (the Treasury icon). Selecting it opens the Treasury sub-menu on the left, with the Dashboard at the top and all working areas grouped beneath it. If your permissions don't include the Dashboard, opening Treasury instead takes you straight to the first area you do have access to.

Module Sections
Dashboard
The Treasury Dashboard is a configurable board of widgets that summarizes the module at a glance:
- Payables Overview
- Receivables Overview
- Fund Account Balances
- Cash Flow Summary
- Receivables and Payables trend graphs
- Top Suppliers
- Invoice by Client
You can arrange the widgets to suit how you work.
Fund Account
Manage the company's bank and cash accounts. View each account, its balance, and its transaction history. Fund accounts can be created, viewed, and edited, and bank statements can be imported into an account.
Payables (money going out)
- Purchase Order β manage purchase requests, purchase orders, canvassing, and order payments.
- Suppliers β maintain the supplier list and supplier details.
- Request for Payment β maker/approver/releaser workflow for paying suppliers, employees, or other payees. Every generated Purchase Order automatically gets its own linked request.
- Aging Report β view outstanding payables grouped by age.
Receivables (money coming in)
- Collection by Invoice β record and track collections against sales invoices.
- Collection by Project β view and process collections grouped by project.
- Collection by Client β view and process collections grouped by client.
- Aging Report β view outstanding receivables grouped by age.
Petty Cash
- Petty Cash Holders β manage the people who hold petty cash funds.
- For Liquidation β review and process petty cash liquidations.
[Reimbursements](./reimbursement)
Employee expense claims: anyone files a claim backed by receipts, their supervisor approves it, and Treasury pays it back. Approved claims can also be pushed into the multibook ERP as an Expense Reimbursement document. Employees are enabled one by one under Reimbursement Setup, where you can also set spending limits that warn the approver.
Accounting
The accounting ledger:
- Documents β source documents that feed the books. Once a document has journal entries, its detail page offers a Generate Document button that renders your chosen layouts and supporting files into one combined PDF. If a supporting file or attachment can't be included (for example an unsupported file type, or one that couldn't be fetched), the PDF is still produced, a "Document generated, but N supporting file(s) could not be included" notice appears, and the dialog lists the missing files under Some supporting files are not included.
- Journal Vouchers β prepared vouchers awaiting posting.
- Journal Entries β posted journal entries. The page header has an Import button that opens the AI-assisted Import Journal Entries wizard for bringing in a GL transaction listing from another system, and an Export button that downloads the list to Excel. A Business Partner column (hidden by default β enable it from the table's column controls) shows each line's customer/supplier/vendor when the entry came from an import; the same column appears on a Journal Voucher's detail page when the voucher has one, and in the Excel export.
- Cost Centres (Accounting Configuration) β the list of cost centres used to tag journal lines and payroll journals; see Cost Centres. Journal Entries and Journal Vouchers can be filtered by cost centre.
- Chart of Accounts β the company's account structure. The page header has an Add Account button and an Actions menu (Seed Standard Chart, Export to Excel, Import from Excel, Delete All). Once your company has multibook set up in Cloud Credentials, the chart is synced from Settings β multibook sync, which downloads the whole chart of accounts from multibook in one step and marks synced rows with a multibook badge β see Syncing the Chart of Accounts with multibook below). Import from Excel first tries to map the uploaded file straight from its own column headers β including the headers ANTE's own Export to Excel writes (Account Code, Account Name, Parent Account Code, Account Type, Normal Balance, FS Type, Balance Sheet Section, Category) β so a chart exported from ANTE and re-imported is mapped instantly with no AI involved. AI is only used as a fallback for files whose headers it can't recognize, and even then only to fill in what the file itself leaves blank: it works out the parent/child hierarchy when the file has no Parent Account Code column, and assigns a category only to rows that don't already have one. While an import is working, a progress dialog shows a spinner and the current step (for example "Reading the fileβ¦" or "Mapping columnsβ¦"). On the Review step, a warning may appear if some accounts have no recognizable account type and will import untyped β set their type on the account after import. The multibook sync runs under your company's multibook connection (the company key in Cloud Credentials), so nobody needs a personal multibook link to run it. If multibook rejects that key, the sync stops and says to check Cloud Credentials. The Add/Edit Account form also has a Posting configuration section (require department / business partner / segment / tax code / line description, and FX revaluation for AR/AP) that multibook sync keeps up to date on accounts it manages, and an AI guideline β when to use this account text box describing the kind of spend or activity that belongs to the account β this is what ANTE's AI reads when it suggests an account for a reimbursement expense line.
Syncing the Chart of Accounts with multibook
Use this when your company keeps its chart of accounts in multibook and you want ANTE to match it. Open Settings β multibook sync, keep Chart of accounts ticked and click Sync now. The whole chart is downloaded in a single step, so it takes seconds rather than minutes. Existing accounts are updated, never duplicated. Only one sync can run at a time β starting another while one is running is refused.
When the sync finishes, the report summarises the result: how many accounts were added, updated, left unchanged, and switched off. An account deleted in multibook is switched off (made inactive) in ANTE rather than removed.
If anything needs a decision, a Needs your attention section lists it:
- Accounts replaced β an ANTE account that shares a code with a different multibook account is always replaced by multibook's (name, debit/credit side, statement, category and so on), shown as "was β¦ now β¦". multibook always wins on the chart of accounts. An account that was in use β it has postings, ANTE's tax or posting setup uses it, or another record points at it β is marked, for example "it has postings β re-check those", so you can check what it now means.
- Accounts that now mean something else β a synced account whose debit/credit side or statement (balance sheet or P&L) was changed in multibook.
- Deleted accounts ANTE still uses β an account deleted in multibook was switched off in ANTE, but something in ANTE still uses it. Each row says what.
- A count of GL posting roles that point at an account the sync added, replaced, changed or deleted β including a role whose account did not exist in ANTE until multibook added it. Postings through those roles are paused until you review them β click Review GL account mapping (see GL Account Mapping below).
As a safeguard, a sync that would switch off most of the accounts synced before, or that receives an empty chart, is stopped with nothing changed. This usually means the multibook company or chart of accounts in Cloud Credentials is not the right one.
Under the page header, a status line shows Last synced from multibook <time> Β· N accounts with a badge: Synced, N need attention, Syncing or Sync failed. Click Open Multibook sync to go where syncs are started, View details to reopen the last result, or Resolve to work through what needs attention (see below). The badge counts only what is still undecided.
After the first sync, ANTE keeps watching multibook for changes: it reads multibook's change log every 15 minutes (and whenever someone opens this page) and applies changes to the accounts it syncs, with the same safety checks as a manual sync. The status line then adds Watching for changes Β· checked <time>, or the reason the last check failed. Turn watching off or change how often it checks in Settings β multibook β Chart of accounts.
Edits you make here to an account kept in multibook β and new accounts β are also saved in multibook, under your own multibook account. While one is on its way, the account shows Saving to multibookβ¦; if it couldn't be saved it shows Not saved to multibook and a banner above the table lists it with Retry and Discard (Discard keeps multibook's values).
Resolving what needs your attention
Click Resolve on the status line (or in the sync result) to work through the list. It is live: an item you resolve leaves the list, and the badge count, straight away. Resolving needs the accounting configuration permission β without it you can see the list but not act on it. Nothing here changes multibook.
The list holds only two kinds of item: accounts that Multibook deleted and ANTE still uses, and GL posting roles that need a review. There are no same-code conflicts to decide, because Multibook's account always replaces the ANTE one. For a deleted account ANTE still uses, click Acknowledgeβ¦: it stays switched off and the sync stops warning about it (Undo is under Decisions). Move what still uses it to another account when you are ready.
For the roles that need a review, click Review GL account mapping(see GL Account Mapping below). Every acknowledge and undo is recorded in the accounting audit log, with your reason if you gave one.
GL Account Mapping
Open Treasury β Accounting β Configuration β GL Account Mapping. It lists every automatic posting role β including lease, fixed asset, realized and unrealized FX gain/loss, and Employee Reimbursements Payable β so you can choose the account each one posts to.
After a multibook chart sync, a role whose account was added, replaced, changed or deleted shows a Needs review badge with the reason, and an alert at the top of the page counts the roles needing review. Postings through a blocked role are refused until you either choose the right account for it or click Keep this account to confirm the current one.
Four fallback tax roles β Output VAT Payable (fallback), Input VAT (fallback), Creditable Withholding Tax (fallback) and Expanded Withholding Tax Payable (fallback) β are used when an invoice, bill or payment carries tax but no tax code is set up. They start on accounts 2110, 1190, 1240 and 2150 and can be re-mapped like any other role; a posting that needs one whose account is missing is refused rather than guessed.

π‘ Note: Treasury data is sensitive, and each area is permission-controlled β you only see the items your role grants access to. General Treasury access (Fund Account, Payables, Receivables, Petty Cash, Reimbursements) does not by itself grant the accounting side of the module: Accounting, Financial Statements, Schedules, Leased Assets, Fixed Assets, and Settings are each gated by their own permission, so a role built for operational treasury work (for example petty cash or reimbursements only) will not see the books unless it is also granted access to them. If a menu item is missing, or opening one of its links sends you back to your Dashboard, contact your administrator about your access.
