At times, you might need to manually match the transactions with the partner’s transactions because of discrepancies in the recording of the transaction ID or small discrepancies in the amounts. When you perform the manual matching process, the system updates the transaction status to Match and generates a match code for the transactions.
To match a transaction manually, you must be assigned the Intercompany Transaction Manual Match with Tolerance security role.
To perform the manual match process, you can use the filter options available in the Process Transactions window to display only the unmatched transactions for a specific entity and partner pair. You can select the group of transactions and perform the manual match process.
The system must first check if any transactions have a MisMatched status before you perform the manual match process. During the manual match process, the system checks to see if the transactions are a valid pair of transactions. For example, if you select transactions between A and B, and transactions between B and A, the transactions are considered a valid pair. If you select transactions between A and B, then select transactions between B and C, the transactions are not considered a valid transaction pair.
You cannot use single-sided transactions without the valid partner transactions for the Manual Match process. For example, you cannot select two transactions of A with B, A with B.
If you have the Manual Match with Tolerance security role when you perform the matching process, the system also checks if the amounts are matched for the transactions. The system performs the translation process to the application currency. For each transaction included in the matching process, the system first tries to match the transaction using the translation currency amounts by translating the transaction amount to the application currency, based on the default translation rules set up for the application, and applies the amount to the difference. If the difference amount is not within the matching tolerance, the system then translates the entity currency amount into the application currency and compares the difference amount to the Matching Tolerance that you specified for the period.
If the amount is within the tolerance level, the transactions are considered Matched and the system assigns a match code to the group of transactions. See Matching Status and Match Code.
If you have the Manual Match security role, the system does not check the tolerance amount. See Manually Matching Transactions without Tolerance Amounts.
During the manual match process, transactions are not grouped by transaction currency. Therefore, you can select transactions in different transaction currencies and the system translates each transaction separately.
