Auto-matching statement entries

Once a statement has been imported (or created manually), the bank statement entries can be automatically checked for matches against your system entries. The auto-match can be run as part of the import statement routine or later from the Statement window.

This process attempts to match all debit statement lines to unpresented cheques/payments on the system by means of cheque number/reference, amount and transaction date. If the reference and amount match, and the statement line date is not prior to the system transaction date, then a match is made and the payment is presented. In terms of credits, a match is made if the reference number and amount match a single receipt on the system. If there is any ambiguity, transactions are left unmatched.

To auto-match statement entries:

  1. Run the auto-match.

  1. Once the auto-match has completed, a message showing the number of matches is displayed.

  2. Click OK. The statement entries are marked with a status of matched or unmatched.
