Setting Match/Validate Before Post Option

For each period, you can set the Match/Validate Before Post option. The Match/Validate option defines whether the system needs to check the match status of the transactions before the transactions can be posted and defines the types of validation that need to be done before an entity can be locked or a period can be closed.

The Match/Validate Before Post option can be set to Yes, No, or Restricted.

Description

No

All transactions can be posted

Yes

The system allows transactions to be posted if either of these conditions are met:

  • Transactions have the Matched status.

  • Transactions with a MisMatched status contain a valid Reason Code.

    Note:

    Unmatched transactions or mismatched transactions without a reason code cannot be posted.

The system also checks that all matched transactions or mismatched transactions with reason codes are posted before the period can be closed or the entity can be locked

Restricted

If the Match/Validate Before Posted option is set to Restricted, the system allows transactions to be posted if either of these conditions are met:

  • Transactions have the Matched status.

  • Transactions with a MisMatched status contain a valid Reason Code.

    Note:

    Unmatched transactions or mismatched transactions without a reason code cannot be posted.

The system does not require that all matched transactions or mismatched transactions with reason code be posted before the period can be closed or the entity can be locked.
