agent hallucinating figures not in source data for assemble the close

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in close reporting pack agent by acting on the exact problem first: build every pack table from a named source report, keep a source note per table naming that report and its total, and delete any pack figure whose total cannot be reproduced from its named source. Do not rerun the whole close unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one account or period first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

Use this when

• The operation in close reporting pack agent fails with this exact problem: agent hallucinating figures not in source data for assemble the close reporting pack error hallucination failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A close task, reconciliation, journal or reporting step is blocked until this is resolved.

Not for this skill when

• The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with an accounting judgement such as an estimate or a materiality call. That is a controller decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named account or period in close reporting pack agent and record the full problem text plus the account, period or journal involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: build every pack table from a named source report, keep a source note per table naming that report and its total, and delete any pack figure whose total cannot be reproduced from its named source. Verify: the single failing account or period now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring accounts, entities or periods that share the same checklist, schedule or sync, because this class of failure rarely affects only one account. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in close reporting pack agent on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the signed general ledger record, the subledger record or the bank record, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the close log so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

How to fix - agent hallucinating figures not in source data for assemble the close reporting pack error hallucination failure

The how to phrasing for the same failure in close reporting pack agent. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

close reporting pack agent troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

Pack readers trust the pack as a summary of signed records, and a single invented figure undermines the whole pack, so per table source totals are the practical guard.

Edge cases

• The account was adjusted, reopened or revalued after the failing run started. Refresh the account state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single account proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other accounts. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared checklist or schedule can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The signed general ledger record governs posted amounts, the subledger governs its detail, and the bank record governs cash; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: close reporting pack agent at current versions, plus the general ledger, subledger or close tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

Fix this in close task chasing agent by acting on the exact problem first: require every overdue claim to cite a task record retrieved from the tracker with its owner and due date, compare each cited task against that tracker before notifying, and drop any task, owner or date that appears in no tracker row.

close task chasing agent troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

When a tracker lookup returns empty or partial rows, an agent can invent plausible overdue tasks and owners, and a row level comparison is the only check that separates retrieved tasks from invented ones.

Edge cases

• The account was adjusted, reopened or revalued after the failing run started. Refresh the account state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single account proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other accounts. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared checklist or schedule can hide more than one cause.

Fix this in close checklist agent by acting on the exact problem first: require every figure the agent cites on the checklist to come from a retrieved ledger, subledger or bank record, add a check comparing each cited figure against its source record, and remove any figure with no matching source before the checklist is signed.
