Overview


AI-Powered Account Mapping in GATHER.nexus uses Microsoft Azure AI to automatically map your entity-level Chart of Accounts (COA) to your Group Reporting Template (GRT). This accelerates your consolidation setup while preserving accuracy, especially useful for first-time setups or high volumes of accounts.

Before you begin, make sure these requirements are completed before using AutoMap:

  • GRTs are created and configured

  • All entities are connected via Xero or QuickBooks

  • Chart of Accounts is fully synced

  • You have at least Viewer access to the GRT

  • AI mapping credits are available (30 credits/month, auto-renewed)

  • You’ve reviewed naming conventions and account structures

  • Mapping goals for consolidation are clearly defined

When is AutoMap best use?

  • Used when setting up for the first time, dealing with a high volume of unmapped accounts, or seeking AI-assisted recommendations.

How AutoMap Works?

  • GATHER.nexus uses Microsoft Azure AI to suggest mappings based on:

    • Account names and types

    • COA structures across your entities

    • Industry-specific patterns

    • Past mapping behaviors in your GRTs

It generates suggested mappings along with confidence scores and rationale, which you can accept, override, or ignore.

How to Use AutoMap

Step 1: Access Your GRT

  • Navigate to Group Financial Reporting → Group Reporting Templates

  • Select the relevant template

  • Click on the Mapping Status link (e.g., “4 Mapped | 25 Unmapped”)

Step 2: Launch AutoMap

  • Click the AutoMap with AI button

  • Your remaining credit count (e.g., “28/30 available”) will appear

  • The system scans your unmapped COA and begins suggesting mappings

Step 3: Review Confidence Scores
Each AI-suggested mapping includes a color-coded confidence score:

Score Range

Confidence Level

Suggested Action

🟢 80–100%

Very High

Accept or lightly review

🟢 60–80%

High

Review before applying

🟡 40–60%

Medium

Validate manually

🟠 20–40%

Low

Use caution—manual mapping preferred

🔴 0–20%

Very Low

Ignore or map manually

Step 4: View AI Rationale

  • Hover over the (i) icon next to any suggestion

  • Review the reasoning (e.g., “Matched by name and account type”)

  • Helps build trust in high-confidence suggestions

  • You may override any suggestion by dragging and dropping manually

Step 5: Finalize & Apply

  • Accept the mappings you agree with

  • Review the updated Mapped/Unmapped status

  • Complete any remaining mappings manually if needed
