wellapp-ai Balance sheet (bilan) from Well
Like the P&L, the balance sheet comes from the posted ledger, not from raw documents. It is a point-in-time snapshot: balances of the balance-sheet accounts as of a date.
Do this
- Discover the schema (
well:querying-well-data):well_get_schema("ledger_accounts")— chart of accounts. Balance-sheet accounts are the asset/liability/equity classes (French plan comptable: classes 1–5; income-statement classes 6–7 are excluded).well_get_schema("journal_entries")/journal_entry_lines— posted movements with debit/credit and dates.well_get_schema("account_balances")— Well may expose computed balances directly; prefer these when present, they are the canonical balance per account.
- As-of date: filter postings with
date _lte <as_of>(a balance sheet is cumulative from inception, not a period). - Compute each account balance (sum of debits − credits, or read
account_balances), then group by class:- Actif (assets): debit-normal balances (classes 2, 3, 4-debit, 5).
- Passif (liabilities + equity): credit-normal balances (classes 1, 4-credit).
- Check it balances: total Actif must equal total Passif. If it doesn't, surface the gap rather than hiding it — it usually means unposted entries or a period filter mistake.
Do NOT
- Do not derive assets/liabilities from invoice or bank-transaction lists directly; use the posted ledger /
account_balances. - Do not assume account-class conventions without reading the chart of accounts.
If the ledger is empty
Say the books aren't posted yet. A bank accounts + account_balances snapshot can give a cash position (not a balance sheet) as a clearly-labelled fallback.
Present it
Two columns — Actif and Passif — grouped by class with subtotals, the as-of date, the currency, and an explicit "Actif = Passif ✓/✗" balance check.
