Process

Single Transaction Cross Reference

Used when the amount is to be allocated to a single account or General Ledger Code

Check the prepopulated details, and amend if required

Wildcards may be used

Multiple Transaction Cross Reference

It is possible that a single transaction on the bank account may need to be allocated over a number of different accounts. This can be achieved by setting up 'Additional Analysis' lines on the  dialog.

When Additional Analysis lines are used, the analysis transaction becomes the balancing transaction becomes the balancing transaction, so it is exceptionally important that the different amounts are carefully entered.

E.g. A customer deposits a monthly automatic payment of $226.45 which is made up of a loan instalment ($106.23) and a lease payment ($120.22).

The  would be set up as below:


Note: The Lease Instalment has no amount allocated, this means that the balance of the automatic payment ($226.45 - $106.23 = $120.22) will be applied to this account.

Wildcards

Wildcards can be used in the bank detail fields to match transactions where details change on each transaction

The below screen shot shows the values each field considers a wildcard:


E.g. A customer has an automatic payment for a loan instalment. The Description (Particulars) always reads 'Loan 123' but an incremental count of the instalment number is used by the customer in the Reference field. The code field is blank.

The below cross reference would be setup in order to apply the  to these instalment payments:

It is strongly recommended that at least two of the fields have a defined value, as it is possible to make the  so broad that all bank transactions could be considered a valid match and be incorrectly processed.

Wildcard Amount

If the Reference and Description fields always have the same information but the Amount changes, then enter 0.00 as the amount wildcard. As long as the other details don't change the transaction will always match correctly.

Note: Once a  has been set up for the first time and has been selected into the Electronic Transaction Browse  must be clicked to match the transaction.
