Match & Check All Items

Explanation

This activity is used to perform the payment matching for all items and, to check all items included in a specific load ID that have not been matched and checked automatically while loading. If an error is found in any line, a message appears in the Error field for that specific line. All lines within one load must be correct, before the load ID can be transferred to a mixed payment.

By using this activity, those payments can be matched for which matching identifiers are generally used. E.g. customer payments included in a bank statement of an account file will have the payment format MT940NLABN. The payments can be matched with customer invoices and issued check items, which can be supplier check items or customer repayment check items. The payment matching can also be used to complete a direct cash payment automatically by using the pseudo code identifier type. When a pseudo code is found in the file according to the matching identifier, the code string, text and process code of the pseudo code are applied to the manual posting of a direct cash transaction. The manual posting is updated by the matching also for direct cash transactions for which the manual posting was manually changed. In this case you should use the matching function of the other transactions only for the selected items.

The matching identifiers will be disregarded for an external payment transaction,

• If the imported file is a return file to acknowledge a direct debiting, supplier payment order or customer repayment order
• If the file template is used to identify the invoice with the payment reference
• If a new customer difference item should be created

Even though the matching for the payments is not performed, the transactions are checked, and errors and/or warning messages are displayed.

Prerequisites

In order to perform this activity, a load ID must have been entered in the External Payments window.

System Effects

As a result of this activity,

• All items will be verified for possible matching, e.g. customer number and/or invoice number is matched based on the setup defined in the External Payment Parameters window.
• The invoices matched with the payment are saved to the External Payments Matching Details window.
• The External Payment Details window is updated with the issued check or manual posting, if the payment was successfully matched with a check item or automatically completed by using a pseudo code.
• New customer difference Items are created to write off the overpayments and underpayments of customer invoices within defined tolerances or exact amounts. The write-off difference items are saved in the External Payments Matching Details window.
