Your GL format, your way – configured in hours, not weeks
Traditional payroll systems force you to adapt your financial reporting to their rigid export templates. Affinity takes the opposite approach: you describe your exact GL requirements in plain English, and our system intelligently generates the precise export format you need.
The challenge with traditional GL exports
Most payroll systems use pre-built templates or manual configuration tools that create unnecessary friction and delays.
Weeks of back-and-forth
Specifying custom formats requires endless meetings and documentation. Each modification needs another round of technical specifications and testing.
Technical expertise required
Mapping fields and defining transformations demands specialized knowledge. Your finance team can't make changes independently.
Extensive testing cycles
Every modification requires comprehensive testing. Simple changes can take weeks to validate and deploy.
Delayed implementations
When your finance system requirements change, you're stuck waiting. Often you settle for "close enough" rather than exactly what you need.
The result?
Implementations drag on, format changes take weeks, and you're often stuck with "close enough" rather than exactly what you need.
The Affinity Intelligent Configuration Approach
Transform GL configuration with intelligent parsing
Our system interprets your requirements and generates precise export specifications automatically – no manual configuration screens, no guesswork, no compromise. GL exports work seamlessly with your finance integrations.
Describe your requirements
Simply tell us what you need in plain English:
- File format (CSV, Excel, XML, fixed-length, etc.)
- Column layout and labels
- Grouping and summarization rules (by cost centre, account code, pay period)
- Value formatting, rounding, and code remapping
- Any special transformations or calculations
We generate the specification
Our system intelligently parses your requirements and generates the exact export specification code – no manual configuration screens, no guesswork, no "we'll try to make it work."
Processing Time
Hours, not weeks
Specifications generated and validated within a single day in most cases.
Validate and deploy
You receive:
Sample Output Files
Based on your actual data
Clear Documentation
Of the specification
Automated Validation
Ensures accuracy
Fast Iteration

Real benefits for your organisation
Speed
GL export formats configured in hours or days, not weeks or months. Format changes that previously took weeks now take hours.
Accuracy
You get exactly what you specified – not the closest match from a pre-built template. Every column, every calculation, every grouping rule matches your requirements precisely.
Flexibility
Need to add a new cost centre structure? Change account codes? Split reports differently? Simply describe the change, and we regenerate the specification. See how GL mapping works in practice.
Transparency
You specify requirements in language your finance team already uses. No translation into technical configuration parameters. No black-box processing.
Scalability
Onboard new subsidiaries or divisions faster. Reuse and adapt specifications across similar entities. Build a library of proven formats.
Independence
Your finance team can request changes without needing technical expertise. No need to understand complex configuration screens or wait for IT resources.
What makes this different
Unlike traditional systems that force you into configuration screens and template wizards, Affinity's intelligent configuration approach means:
You Stay in Control
Requirements are captured in plain English that your finance team can review and approve. No technical translation required.
No Technical Debt
Each specification is generated fresh, optimized for your exact needs. No accumulated configuration complexity to untangle.
Future-Proof
As your requirements evolve, the system adapts. No legacy configuration to maintain or migrate.
Faster Implementations
What traditionally takes weeks now takes days, reducing time-to-value and eliminating implementation bottlenecks.
