Readiness Is Assessed Inside the Close Transaction, One Finding per Problem

Context

Close consumes one assessment of unfinished reconciliation rather than reproducing its checks.

Decision

Evaluate reconciliation within the close caller’s transaction and report a principal finding with its associated records.

Alternatives Considered

Build a separate reconciliation close mechanism. Close already owns period decisions and retained closing evidence.

Use a detached preview as binding close evidence. Preview can become stale before the close executes.

Report every affected record as a separate concern. One unresolved issue could appear repeatedly across payout, explanation and exception records.

Consequences

Traveling funds are reported without becoming blockers. Period locks coordinate participating posting changes with close, but do not freeze every assessed record. Reconciliation retains no assessment; Close owns the final snapshot.
