Reconcile money in, sign money out

Finance owns two ledgers that must always tie out: trustee escrow (money in) and distribution runs (money out). Escrow credits are matched, split, flagged or returned; releases and payouts are two-person acts with frozen evidence. This journey runs the full cash lifecycle including the ugly paths: short payments, overpayments, duplicates, failed payouts.

A recorded run of this exact journey — every step below, performed live on the platform, with every click shown (about 3 minutes).

01

Reconcile the escrow feed

  1. 1

    Open Escrow & custody. It lands on reconciliation when credits are open.

    http://admin.blackant.tech/escrow

    Expect · The trustee feed: each credit with amount, counterparty, mangled-or-clean reference, and a reconciliation sub-state beside its cash state.

  2. 2

    Auto-match the clean ones, then work the rest.

    /escrow

    Expect · Exact reference + exact amount match in one pass; everything else needs your decision.

  3. 3

    Record a trustee feed credit manually, as a bank line arriving on the feed.

    /escrow/[ticker]

    Expect · Duplicates by feed reference are flagged, and foreign currency goes to manual review.

  4. 4

    Apply partial credits to one subscription until covered; split one credit across several.

    /escrow/[ticker]

    Expect · Partial payments converge (underpaid until whole); a split with insufficient credit refuses rather than part-filling a subscription.

  5. 5

    Return an overpayment’s excess.

    /escrow/[ticker]

    Expect · The excess goes back through the payment boundary with its own instruction; the allocation trail stays balanced.

  6. 6

    Flag duplicates / unknown payments into the exception lane.

    /escrow/[ticker]

    Expect · Each lands as a Finance exception with the reason recorded.

02

Release escrow after close (two people)

  1. 7

    After a round closes, find the release request the close created.

    http://admin.blackant.tech/escrow (Releases)

    Expect · Principal is HELD; the request carries a frozen evidence snapshot with its hash.

  2. 8

    Have a different approver decide the release.

    /escrow

    Expect · Approval re-validates the evidence hash; any drift refuses with evidence_changed. Approval writes the release entry and flips settlements to released.

    Requesting and approving your own release is refused as maker_checker.

03

Run a distribution end-to-end

  1. 9

    Accept an issuer proposal into a run, or create one directly.

    http://admin.blackant.tech/payouts

    Expect · Acceptance creates the linked run at the attested net; direct runs take offering, period, record date, distributable income and reserve months.

  2. 10

    Open the run and calculate.

    /payouts/[id]

    Expect · Record-date entitlements per holder, management fee and IPF levy carved out, and the reserve test against the 6-month policy.

  3. 11

    Collect two staff signatures (step-up: distribution.approve).

    /payouts/[id]

    Expect · Two different signers; then the trustee countersign.

  4. 12

    Execute (step-up: distribution.execute).

    /payouts/[id]

    Expect · Per-investor payout attempts run against verified payout accounts; the run shows paid / failed / skipped per entitlement.

  5. 13

    Correct and retry failures.

    /payouts/[id]

    Expect · A failed entitlement stays payable at the same amounts; retry succeeds after the investor fixes their account. Nothing is ever re-derived.

04

Own the transfer window

  1. 14

    Open a quarterly window from the Register.

    http://admin.blackant.tech/register (Transfer window)

    Expect · Eligible investors can now reserve sells and fund buys; the book shows both sides live.

  2. 15

    Close and finalize matches when the quarter ends.

    /register

    Expect · Bilateral matches freeze at NAV. No positions or cash move yet; each match settles separately in the transfer workbench.

  3. 16

    Settle matches in the workbench.

    /register/transfers

    Expect · Each settlement attempt runs ledger + cash together and records its evidence; failures retry without double-moving.
