Pending Reconciliation — draft entries

Some events create journal entries before the final dollar amount is known — these are called draft entries and appear in the "Pending Reconciliation" section at the top of Accounting → Journal Entries.

When do draft entries appear?
• Lab Environment provisioning — GCP costs aren't known until the cluster runs. The entry is created at $0 when provisioning completes.
• Any module integration that generates a financial event before a final invoice is received.

Filling in a draft entry manually:
1. In the Pending Reconciliation section, find the draft entry
2. Click the entry row to expand it
3. Enter the actual dollar amounts for each line
4. Click "Post Entry" — the entry moves from Draft to Posted and is included in all reports and balances

Automatic reconciliation for Lab Environments:
On the 5th of each month, Turtini runs a reconciliation job that:
• Pulls actual GCP spend from the Cloud Billing API for each environment's GCP project
• Applies the 15% chargeback markup
• Fills in and posts the cost and chargeback entries automatically
• Sends a notification to org admins listing any entries that couldn't be auto-reconciled (e.g. if the GCP project link was missing)

Entries that the job auto-posts move from Pending Reconciliation to the main journal list. Entries that require manual attention remain in the Pending section with an amber highlight.
