Basic rules for account matching

The basic rules for account matching are:

• You can perform account matching on accounts that are:

  • Of the type Balance Sheet or Profit & Loss.
  • Defined as matchable accounts. The Account Matching Properties field must be filled for the account in the Chart of Accounts (tfgld0508m000) session.
  • Not used for integration transactions.
• You can only perform account matching of entries on the same account.
• The transactions to be matched can be in different transaction currencies.
• You can perform account matching on finalized transactions.
• You can unmatch transactions, even if the matching transactions have already been finalized.

In the account matching process, the following situations can occur:

• There is no difference between the sums of the credit amounts and the debit amounts of the selected transactions, or the difference is within the currency tolerance. The transactions are matched.
• The sums of the credit amounts and the debit amounts differ by the tolerance percentage and/or the tolerance amount or more. The transactions cannot be matched.
• The difference between the sums of the credit amounts and the debit amounts is within the matching tolerance percentage and less than the matching tolerance amount. The transactions can be matched with a matching transaction for the difference amount.
