Generally speaking, the matching consists of pairing journal postings unsing a matching code in order to facilitate the analysis of an account balance on a given date.

For instance: associate an invoice with its payment.

Based on criteria defined beforehand, the matching can be:

  • performed for a specific account via a manual selection of the entries to match,
  • generated automatically, for one or more accounts.

In any case, a wrong matching can be cancelled:

  • for an account from the manual matching function and using the contextual menu associated with the dsiplay screen of the matched entries,
  • for a group of accounts from the unmatching function.

Screen management

Entry screen

The account unmatching processing can be generated globally from the dedicated function, which defines the unmatching criteria.

Selection

Based on the selection criteria used, the matchings to be cancelled will be searched for:

  • a group of companies or the company entered,
  • possibly, a specific site,
  • all the accounts or only some accounts limited with a start and end number.

Note It is possible to limit cancellations to the partial or closed matching groups and to certain matching codes.
The selection of the entries to be unmatched is necessarily limited by a start date and an end date. It can concern all the periods or the open periods only.
