Apparatuses, methods and systems for a journal entry automator
First Claim
1. A processor-implemented method comprising:
- defining classification rules for assigning accounting classes and subclasses to transactions;
receiving an indication of a transaction;
tagging the transaction with transaction characteristics;
identifying, accessing and extracting at least one of a set of relevant transaction characteristics using a data-structure-tracking syntax configured string and universal variables, wherein the universal variables comprise intermediate data objects that provide access to a plurality of disparate databases and different software application systems containing related relevant transaction characteristics data and applicable classification rules, and wherein said universal variables are organized into a business grammar hierarchy, each segment of the hierarchy following a plurality of business grammar rules for an enterprise;
selecting applicable classification rules from the classification rules based on the relevant transaction characteristics and the universal variables; and
assigning via a processor at least one accounting class and subclass to the transaction based on the applicable classification rules.

Abstract
The APPARATUS, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR A JOURNAL ENTRY AUTOMATOR (hereinafter “JEA”) implement efficient and scalable monitoring, regulation, and allocation of computational processing, data, labor, and/or the like resources within an enterprise. In some embodiments, the JEA may facilitate, in various implementations, transaction classification through the use of universal variables and economical interface features. In one embodiment, classification rules for assigning accounting Classes/Subclasses to transactions may be defined. Upon receipt of an indication of a transaction, the transaction is tagged with transaction characteristics. Based on relevant transaction characteristics, accounting Classes/Subclasses may be assigned to the transaction using the applicable classification rules.
