Account Matching (tfgld1550m000)

Use this session to match transactions of a ledger account manually. If required, you can add transactions to an existing set of matched transactions.

To match two or more transactions, take the following steps:

  1. Select the transactions to be matched. You can match two or more transactions.
  2. On the appropriate menu, click one of the following commands:

    • Match without Transaction
      Use this command to match transactions that balance.
    • Match with Transaction
      Use this command to match transactions and generate a matching transaction for the difference amount.
    • Match with Existing Match
      Use this command to add the selected transaction to an existing match using the Add Transaction To Existing Match (tfgld1251m000) session.

For each match LN creates a matching transaction in the Matched Transactions (tfgld1551m000) session.

Note
  • To perform account matching, you must be listed in the Account Matching Users (tfgld1152m000) session. In this session, a user's authorization is defined by an account matching authorization scheme and a ledger account matching scheme.
  • During account matching, LN does not check whether specific transactions can be matched. Instead, LN performs this check when the resulting matching transactions are approved.
  • To match transactions automatically, use the Match Transactions Automatically (tfgld1250m000) session.

The business partner definition includes:

  • The organization's name and main address.
  • The language and currency used.
  • Taxation and legal identification data.

You address the business partner in the person of the business partner's contact. The business partner's status determines if you can carry out transactions. The transactions type (sales orders, invoices, payments, shipments) is defined by the business partner's role.

Dimensions
Cash Flow Reason
An indication of the kind of cash transaction. Transactions to which you link a reason code of the Cash Flow type are included in the cash flow statement, sorted by cash flow reason.
Reconciliation Area
A general area on which you can perform reconciliation, for example, Inventory, Production Order WIP, Interim Costs, and Invoice Accrual. The reconciliation area and subarea together form a reconciliation group which represents a group of integration ledger accounts.
Reconciliation Subarea
A further division of a reconciliation area into the kinds of origins of the transactions. For example, the Interim Costs and Invoice Accrual reconciliation areas are divided into many subareas such as Sales Order, Purchase Order, and Service Order. The reconciliation area and subarea together form a reconciliation group which represents a group of integration ledger accounts.
Integration Account
A ledger account used for integration transactions. You can use the account for other transaction types, such as manual transactions, only if you specify exceptions.

To maintain data integrity for reconciliation purposes, by default, you cannot manually enter transactions on an integration account.

To correct postings on integration accounts, two methods are available:

  • To enable manual posting for several domain-specific sessions, use the Manual Posting Exceptions (tfgld0148m000) session.
  • Enter the correction entries on another ledger account with the same parent as the integration ledger account. The results will then appear in the parent account.
