Finance recipe · Data flow diagram
Where did Stripe cash go relative to the bank and QuickBooks?
Draw it as a data-flow diagram with the MosoFin-diagram "Finance payout rec" recipe. A rec-shaped data flow: captured charges, netted fees, payouts, in-transit, bank credits, books, and residual. Your coding agent returns one validated, self-contained HTML file.
When to use this diagram
Month-end payout rec, Stripe dashboard cash ≠ bank, or a clearing account that will not tie.
Pick another recipe when the question is why Shopify sales ≠ P&L, or the close checklist order.
What the diagram must include
- Fees netted in payout
- Timing vs unexplained residual
- Bank then books
- No invented residual
Copy-ready prompt
Paste this into your coding agent with MosoFin-diagram installed. Recipe ID: finance-payout-rec.
Read references/finance-onboarding.md and FINANCE-BRIEF.md. Use Mosofin dataflow mode for Stripe payout vs bank vs QuickBooks. Separate timing (pending / in transit) from unexplained residual. Label fees as netted inside the payout. Do not invent a residual; if totals are unknown, omit amounts and keep the topology. Never mark the rec green unless the user supplied a zero difference.How to make it
