Banks, NBFCs, and digital lending institutions across emerging markets struggle with a persistent problem:
need to automate journal entries in ERP for every loan repayment, settlement, fee, tax, restructuring event, or write-off.

These delays not only slow down financial close cycles but also create inconsistencies between the Loan Management System (LMS), Core Banking System (CBS), and the ERP/General Ledger (GL).

FinFloh solves this through a seamless automation-driven layer that updates the ERP instantly and accurately—eliminating spreadsheets, manual mapping, version errors, and reconciliation chaos.

Why Automating Loan Journal Entries Matters for Banks & NBFCs

1. Manual Workloads Slow Down Accounting Teams

Whether it’s a bank with a large loan portfolio or an NBFC managing thousands of accounts, accounting teams often receive repayment files from collections, settlement teams, field agents, or recovery partners.
Each file must be decoded, split into principal/interest components, and then manually entered into the ERP.

This takes time, introduces mistakes, and creates audit issues at the end of every month.


2. Delayed Updates Impact Financial Accuracy

For both banks and NBFCs, if repayments or settlements aren’t reflected immediately in the ERP/GL:

  • Loan balances remain outdated
  • Interest income reporting becomes inaccurate
  • Provisioning, impairment, and NPA calculations get distorted
  • Month-end close becomes a fire-drill

3. Lack of Integration Between LMS and ERP

Most banks and NBFCs operate multiple systems—CBS, LMS, payment gateways, ERP—but they rarely speak to each other in real time.

FinFloh becomes the intelligent layer connecting all these systems through event-based automation, ensuring financial data moves without noise or delays.


How FinFloh Automates Journal Entry Updates in ERP

Event-Based Automation for Repayments, Settlements & More

FinFloh supports event-driven accounting, meaning it can generate or trigger JE updates for:

  • Repayments & part-payments
  • Settlements & negotiated closures
  • Prepayments
  • Restructuring or rescheduling
  • Write-offs & NPA reclassification
  • Disbursals (when integrated deeply with LMS/CBS)

This covers the full lending lifecycle for both banks and NBFCs.


Identifies Principal, Interest, Fee & Tax Automatically

FinFloh reads every repayment and intelligently breaks it down into:

  • Principal
  • Interest
  • Fees
  • Taxes (VAT, stamp duty, administrative charges, etc.)

Each component is mapped to the correct GL chart, cost center, product code, or branch, based on how the bank or NBFC has configured its policies.


Instant Reflection of Repayments in ERP

When a borrower pays online, through self-service channels, or via field agents:

  • The event is captured instantly inside FinFloh
  • The accounting logic is applied automatically
  • DR/CR entries are generated based on configured rules
  • The final JE is pushed to the ERP immediately

No batching, uploads and spreadsheets

Just real-time, accurate accounting for both banks and NBFCs.


Plug-and-Play Integration Across Systems

FinFloh integrates cleanly with:

  • LMS / CBS
  • SAP
  • Oracle Financials
  • Microsoft Dynamics 365
  • NetSuite
  • Zoho Books
  • Tally

It also works with multi-entity setups and supports IFRS + local GAAP — essential for regulated financial institutions.


Complete Audit Trail, Approvals & Policy Control

FinFloh provides:

  • Maker-checker approval workflows
  • JE logs with timestamps and user attribution
  • GL tagging (product, branch, cost center, business segment, DPD bucket)
  • Version-controlled accounting rules
  • Full audit trail for every accounting event

Perfect for compliance-heavy banking and NBFC environments.
