Search term list

Use this function create a list of search terms related to fixed identifiers, like a BP name or text in a bank transaction. This search is used in the advanced bank statement import process.

These search terms can be used to match a transaction to a certain general ledger account or BP account.

In Bank import settings, select the Search term list check box to apply these terms to the search and then select when to apply the terms: before or after the standard search. If you select after, it only applies to transactions with a C status.

If the term matches a BP account, a payment not linked to a specific open item is generated.

Setting up a list

  1. Select Create in the Action panel to set up a new list.
  2. Enter the Company for this search list and select a File format and a Bank.
  3. Select the Append icon to create the list.

When adding terms, you cannot use wildcards. If you enter several texts as a single criteria, such as "Lease contract," the exact string must be found. If you center several criteria, you need to link them with AND, for example "Reference text and amount."

Payment related settings

You can enter either a general ledger or a BP account but not both. For a BP account, a control account must also be given.

The sign of the payment attribute entered must fit the payment sign of the transaction (or set to payment direction). Otherwise there is no match, even when other criteria apply.

The account structure of the payment attribute needs to be Bank <=> BP or  Bank <=> Account.

If a general ledger account subjected to VAT is used, a VAT code is mandatory.

A (fixed) distribution can be used if either the general ledger or the BP account are set up for analytical accounting.
