GL Matching Overview
The GL Matching SuiteApp enhances your NetSuite account with a transaction matching capability to accommodate an accounting practice common in several countries, especially in Europe. In France, this account reconciliation practice is called Lettrage. The SuiteApp gives you tools to make Lettrage easier.
With this SuiteApp, you can search transaction lines that belong to an account (for example, Accounts Payables) on the GL Matching Dashboard. You can then match these transaction lines, like a bill to a bill payment, or a bill to three bill payments. To help with matching, you'll see the credit and debit values for each transaction line, and the total balance displayed on the dashboard.
When you match transactions, the SuiteApp groups them and assigns a matching status and matching code. A matching code is a set of letters that's unique for every combination of account, subsidiary, and accounting book (if you enabled the Full Multi-Book Accounting feature). With the matching code, you can see which transactions have already been matched. For information about the matching code and matching status, see GL Matching Terminology.
The GL Matching SuiteApp doesn't match transactions as a whole, it matches transaction lines. Each transaction in an account has multiple transaction lines. The GL Matching Dashboard shows each line as a separate search result, so you can match different lines from the same transaction separately.
For information about the actions you can perform on the dashboard, see GL Matching Dashboard Management.
The GL Matching SuiteApp supports transactions in Accounts Payables and Accounts Receivables, and you can also match custom transactions. For information about the transaction types that you can match, see Matchable Transactions.
