Potential Reconciling Items Report
Flags journal items that may have posted to the wrong general ledger accounts — for example adjustments routed to balance-sheet rather than income accounts — by reporting level, accounting date, and balancing segment.
Sample build of the Potential Reconciling Items Report — reconciled, and rendered tool-neutral so it runs in Power BI, ThoughtSpot, or Tableau.

The report flags journal items that may have posted to the wrong GL accounts, such as adjustments routed to balancing accounts.
$220K of adjustments routed to accounts other than the expected receivable or revenue accounts — the AR-to-GL reconciliation won't tie.
Correct the receivables-activity GL setup behind the misrouted adjustments; a misrouted adjustment is the usual AR-to-GL reconciling item.
This is the report's BI Publisher data model — the SQL data set BI Publisher runs against Oracle tables to produce the output. The same SQL becomes a dbt model in your warehouse, so one definition drives both the formatted report and the analytics layer.
Data sources
The data-warehouse model — one fact surrounded by conformed dimensions (what you slice by) and measures (what you aggregate), expressed as dbt so it migrates with you. Grain: one row per source transaction.

Customization note Run it after any setup change; teams typically wire the output into the close checklist so misderived accounts are caught before final accounting. Irvine rebuilds these on your data.
