GL Matching Overview
The GL Matching SuiteApp gives your NetSuite account a transaction matching feature to support an accounting practice that's common in several countries, especially in Europe. In France, this reconciliation practice is called Lettrage. The SuiteApp gives you tools that'll make Lettrage easier.
With this SuiteApp, you can search for transaction lines belonging to an account (like Accounts Payables) right from the GL Matching Dashboard. You can then match these transaction lines, like matching 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, along with the total balance on the dashboard.
When you match transactions, the SuiteApp groups them and gives them a matching status and 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). The matching code shows you which transactions are already matched. For information about the matching code and matching status, see GL Matching Terminology.
The GL Matching SuiteApp doesn’t match whole transactions, it matches transaction lines. Each account transaction can have several lines. The GL Matching Dashboard shows each line as a separate result, so you can match different lines from one transaction.
For information about what you can do on the dashboard, see GL Matching Dashboard Management.
The GL Matching SuiteApp works with Accounts Payables, Accounts Receivables, and custom transactions. For information about the transaction types that you can match, see Matchable Transactions.
