Match Open Items

Explanation

Use this activity to match one or more debit transactions with one or more credit transactions from the same account.

Prerequisites

Transactions with debit and credit amounts for the selected account must exist in the general ledger. The transactions have to be balanced for the final matching, i.e. the debit amount of all matched transactions has to be equal to the credit amount of all matched transactions. If the total is not balanced, the transactions can still be saved temporarily.

System Effects

When balanced transactions are matched, these will be updated with Matching Date and Matching Number. You can view them in the transactions queries in General Ledger. If the difference between debit and credit is not zero (0), the matching can still be saved with a preliminary matching number, i.e., a number starting with PR.
